This is my card for CC854. I am your hostess this week and I chose gold, cherry cobbler and shaded spruce as my color trio. Dessert option this week is Christmas in July.
I used several CottageCutz dies to create my Christmas card. The wreath is the vine wreath with berries die and I placed the Nativity Noel in the center. I framed the card with the Pierced Wide Rectangle die. The background paper is from the Stampin'-Up "plush poinsettia specialty paper". It's a vellum paper and I thought it worked well for the wreath background.
To finish up, I scattered a few sequins and my card is done. I hope you can play along this week with some traditional Christmas colors as we finish up our Christmas in July extravaganza.

I love the combination of the Noel die cut against the wreath. It makes for such a pretty tableau. I also like how you've framed the image--like a work of art--which it is!

I love wreaths and you have the perfect sentiment to finish it off with! The background works very well with it and your scatter of sparkle really brings everything to life. Super card!

Your dainty wreath looks beautiful over that Plush Poinsettia vellum. The paper even brings depth and interest to your greens. Thanks for the great color combination!
