Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I'm still trying to catch up with my Christmas stash, but I've chosen pastel colors
for this one.
I used a retired 3D embossing folder for this wreath and colored it with
watercolor pencils.
My favorite bow from the Greetery, cut from foil cardstock and a matching
die cut sentiment finish it off.

ReplyDeleteWow, I love this soft and light-colored Christmas wreath card, Bonnie! Your watercoloring of the wreath is so pretty and the foil bow and the sentiment add the perfect shine to the soft wreath. I'm always impressed with how you use Baja Breeze. (It's a difficult color for me.)
