This is my sample for CC920. LeAnn is our hostess, and she chose merry merlot, garden green and polished pink for her color trio. Dessert option this week is to choose another color. I chose blue and used balmy blue and pacific point for my bird image.
I used the challenge colors to create the wreath. I sponged garden green ink on the same cardstock for a deeper shade on the holly.
The grapevine wreath image is cut in kraft cardstock and I sponged tea dye distress ink for shading. This die is the Rustic Wreath die from CottageCutz.
The "Peace and Joy" phrase is from the die of the same name. It's a new one from CottageCutz.
That's my card for this week. Hope you can play along with these bold and bright colors from LeAnn. And you even get to add a 4th color if you choose.

Mary, your brick background shows off your wreath wonderfully, along with the little blue bird. You've adorned your wreath just like a real one with all the pretty elements. Beautiful job! TFS

Mary, your wreath is so pretty, and I adore that little bird in the center. Placing it on a brick wall is a perfect treatment, and the greeting is so sweet!

Sweet Christmas card with the nesting bluebird in the twig wreath, Mary. The brick makes a lovely bg. Wonderful use of die cuts to create the pleasing effect.
