I cut a white wreath using the Papertrey rustic wreath die as a base layer, then added various die cuts to fill it in. The poinsettias were cut from a piece of watercolor paper that had been dyed using Nuvo cherry bomb powder. The BG is a piece of smooshed watercolor paper that I made with distress inks peacock feathers and pine needles, then splattered with Finetec silver metallic watercolor. The Penny Black sentiment was cut from white cardstock and the rhinestone added for the dot on the i. I added rhinestone berries and a few snowflake sequins.

Your soft, ethereal background is beautiful and sets off the wreath nicely. I also like the use of the powder dye for the poinsettias, it gives them a pretty texture. Gorgeous card!

So much to love about your gorgeous card Sue! The smooshed background has a dreamy quality to it and the layered wreath with the poinsettias adding the pop of pink is so, so pretty! The pink rhinestones add the perfect finishing touch! Love it!
