Noel Wreath

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Here's another Christmas card from my UFO box.


The grapevine wreath was in the box and I did what I do with the wreath on the door
when the seasons change.  You can add anything you want (or what's punched or die cut
in the bits boxes) and change the whole look.

This time it's finished off with pine and holly with a poinsettia added in.

A bird cut from gold foil and then embossed and a big red bow added some
more color and elegance.

The foiled Noel looks a bit off, but my Glimmer Machine doesn't work the best
and it could be off due to the shine that the camera doesn't like.

I'm adding this to a new to me challenge where my friend Nance is guesting for
the next several weeks.

Challenges:
AAA Colourful #10 - Reds, Greens and Gold
Just Us Girls #754 - Mood Board - See that wreath?
Jingle Belles - CASE their Banner

That big red bow sets off your wreath beautifully, Bonnie. Good for you for resurrecting all those items from your bits box. They came together in such a wonderful way. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls.

The wreath is so pretty with the pieces from your bits box, glad you were able to use them for this beautiful card. That big red bow and poinsettia really set the wreath off and you have framed it beautifully.

This is a gorgeous wreath and would look wonderful on your front door. This is how I cook, start with a meat and add whatever is in the fridge. Now I see it works for cards too, thank you.

TK said...

Apparently with a card like this, your front door is the envy of the neighborhood! What a wonderful card, Bonnie

Lisa Elton said...

Love that you're using up those bits to create all of this prettiness, Bonnie!

I wonder why we always stress when things don't look perfect. I am the worst for that. I put them aside and then when I come across it again, I can't work out what I thought was wrong! I think you wreath and your foiling look stunning and I am glad you have used up some of your bits xx

Gorgeous wreath pair with the folk frames, Bonnie!!

In csse you think I flipped out here, this is the other card that got the comment for another card. When I deleted it BOTH cards lost the comments. SO You can design your cards with elements like nobody’ business.. I do it like a third grader. What a fantastic job you did in constructing this card.

Pat said...

What a beautiful wreath and just adore that bow Bonnie, and the mix of foliage looks wonderful and the gold silhouette bird is perching very happily there, and finished with two fabulous ornate frames layered together and a lovely die cut 'NOEL' in the centre..a gorgeous card. x

So many great details in your card Bonnie! The gold bird and Noel pair well together and the wreath and background are staples of this season as well as elements in the moodboard! Thanks for playing this week at Just Us Girls!

Such a lovely composition with all those wonderful die cuts - it makes such an interesting texture-layered card (my favourite type of card). I love everything about it! Thanks for joining us for this month's challenge over at AAA Colourful.
