Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I found this wreath all stamped in my UFO box and I thought it would look good
in Fall colors.
I used my Caran d'ache Supracolor pencils to color and blended very lightly
with a damp waterbrush.
When it was dry, I dry embossed with woodgrain and added a butterfly die cut
from a piece of watercolor background.
The sentiment is heat embossed in gold and a thin gold frame finishes off
the design.
Here's a look at the shine...

Beautiful, BEAUTIFUL card Bonnie!! Your wreath and embossed woodgrain background look SO good together, and I just LOVE the gold frame and sentiment (thought they were foiled at first!) against the bright white of the card! Did I mention how BEAUTIFUL this card is??!! Hugs. :0)
