Well I really shouldn't have but there was this new wreath stamp at the craft shop this morning.... oh, it came home with me.... and I've had a play around, it's a bit tricky and I've ended up using Distress Ink and Distress Oxide and markers on it... bit fussy to pick out the red berries so they got coloured over with markers. To finish I die cut 'Joy' from shiny red card and stamped an extra bit of sentiment. You might notice the top and bottom of the front panel is 'stitched' - well I often use a square die to cut a rectangle and it didn't work today so off came the edges. I am playing along with
CAS Christmas September challenge - Wreath. Thanks for visiting and enjoy for day
Isn't it funny when you browse a craft store and things just "jump" into your basket??!! :) This is a beautiful wreath and I can see why you had to have it, Robyn. Lovely deep shades of green with the bright red berries that pop. Using the metallic red paper for die-cut joy adds some lovely shine to your design. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Christmas! xx
ReplyDeleteThe pop of red metallic works so beautifully against those glorious green colours. Yep I can see why you just 'Had' to have the stamp too! Great save with the stitching die cut x
ReplyDeleteGreat wreath and that 'joy' just makes it that bit more special with he metallic card.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful wreath, Robyn! I love the varying shades of green and red berries! The joy sentiment is the prettiest joy die cut I've seen and so perfect on this wreath! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at CAS Christmas!
