The Painted Harvest flower that I used here work beautifully as a wreath.

Now wait, what? You are finishing your Christmas cards! Oh dear, I need to get busy and these wreaths are a great start. Just using the different shades of green changes the look on all of the cards, then the embossing folders and mats add more charm.
ReplyDeleteGreat eye to see a wreath in that sunflower stamp, Bonnie. They look wonderful and you've made the style of each card unique.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly does look like a wreath, and a beautiful one at that! Good for you getting closer to the finish line with these clean and pretty cards!
ReplyDeleteHow clever to see the sunflower as a super wreath, beautiful cards Bonnie, I've just started my C cards. I feel a case coming on? Thank you.

Three Gorgeous clever wreath Christmas cards using a flower stamp, Bonnie. I love the different shades of green and different backgrounds for each card. Similar cards, but different CAS designs. TFS my friend. Love and Hugs..Nancy
ReplyDeleteThree excellent cards. What a great idea to use that stamp as a wreath, it works so well. Excellent framing on all your cards too xx
ReplyDeleteThis stamp set is in my pile to take to Michele's next week so we can CASE you Bonnie! All 3 of your cards are absolutely GORGEOUS! CAS and oh so perfect...can't wait to make a few of my own! Thanks so much for the inspiration!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteWow, great wreaths with this set. Love the colors and CAS design. You are really inspiring us with the different uses for this stamp set. TFS
ReplyDeleteThis flower stamp works brilliantly as a wreath Bonnie, and I love all three cards..great added embossed seasonal words, and then that textural embossing on the second, and the final card from your class is a beauty with that die cut out frame and the gold bow. The red elements work beautifully on all three as well. x
ReplyDeleteLove these and even looked up that set! What a brilliant idea to use that sunflower as a wreath. These have a hand painted look to them and I'm tempted to get that set just to make these beautiful wreaths. Gorgeous cards and wonderful framing too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea to use the sunflower as a Christmas wreath! You made great cards with it - I love the variations of embossed background, hemstitch framing, etc. Thank you so much for joining us at Peace on Earth!
ReplyDeleteTerrific twofers. Brilliant stretching of this stamp! Would never have known it was a fall harvest flower.
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful way to use the stamp Bonnie- and some amazing cards as a result. Love the final card in particular, with the hemstitched border

ReplyDeleteOh, it does make a pretty wreath... or two... or three! Love these, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteYou are really on a roll with your Christmas cards - love the way this stamp translated into a wreath. Do I get to vote? The third one is my favorite.
