I do not have 3 of the challenge colors, only berry burst. My NBUS stamp set is the Stippled Blossoms. Had it for ages. I am pretty sure I have not used it, lol., but you know I really can't remember! Dini gave a great wreath tutorial: https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/mail/inbox/rp.
I am pretty happy with this, except I see there is a bump in the upper left corner. Don't know how that got there, but I am disappointed about that.
I had wanted to case something from Margaret King (Making Papercrafts-Nov. 23, 2013. When I saw Dini's tutorial today, I was happy to try it. I found out today, that Margaret passed away in Dec. 2014, so I was sad to read that. She was a SU demo.

How beautifully you colored your bird! Love the wreath. The shades of green look wonderful, great shading with this technique. I got a chuckle about the bump though, kind of like those smudges that come from no where. Try lightly spraying on the back of the card and weight it down for a bit. That usually works.
Magnificent wreath Sis Shirl. That stamp set is one of my fav?? Your blue birdie is totally adorable!! Sorry does not know who Ms King is but clearly she must have been Fablous.

Super pretty, Shirl. Love your stamp and that sweet little birdie! So many great artists to admire and it is so sad when one passes. Feels like a member of the family leaves us. Many hugz to you sweet girl.

This is such a beautiful wreath, and your stamping is perfect!! Your blue bird is such a beautiful bird as well and your bow is perfect too!! Lovely card and of course a wonderful sentiment!!

You've inspired me to get out my bird punch and try something like this. I love that your bluebird has a red breast, and a cute little beak and eye. (I've always just stamped and punched with no details.) I love the wreath and the sweet little bow on top. Very sweet Christmas card!

I would never have seen the bump until I read your description!
Fabulous job on the wreath! The little blue bird is perfect for your wreath! Beautiful card!

I was so busy looking at that pretty wreath and bird I didn't notice the bump. I have had that happen and always discourages me. But, your card is beautiful just the same.
