This Inspiration Challenge card was a total experiment using some brand-new toys. I had bought that wreath die the other day at Hobby Lobby, and my HC Celebrate the Seasons stamps and dies arrived in the mail today. In looking through the Christmas section of the Petals website, I came across two items that caught my eye -- so I combined them for my card: the Pine and Berry Wreath and the Large Poinsettia Silk Flower Stem. The experiment part was cutting the circle in the center of my card and adding the wreath die cut. I stamped the sentiment both on the inside of the card and on the vellum. The tricky part was lining them up so that when the card was closed it wouldn't appear off kilter; and it worked!

Beautiful, beautiful card with a fantastic design in honor of your inspiration piece, which is beautiful! I love the wreath die you used and the holly and poinsettias are fantastic. The background paper is familiar, and I always loved it.
