Joy Wreath

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

I'm trying to build my Christmas stash.  I got off to a slow start this year.


For this card, I pulled out an old wreath die that I've had for years and haven't 
used enough.  I don't know why because it's fun to color.

After die cutting from Neenah Solar White, I colored with Copics.

It was placed on an embossed background, topped with a red die cut bow, and 
finished with a die cut Joy from the same set.

This particular die has been discontinued, but there are lots of other 
wreath dies on the market.

Challenges:
Christmas Kickstart #101 -  Let's Wreath it Up
Inkspirational #348 - Clean and Simple
Neglected Stuff - Not used in a long time

This is simplicity at its best, Bonnie. The beautifully colored wreath is right at home on the wood plank background. Lovely card, my friend.

Bonnie, this is a keeper for sure! I love that it isn't made up of just pine branches which gives you plenty of different items to color - beautifully colored today, btw. OH, that BOW! Just love this one - and the planked background is fantastic!
