Chris chose some beautiful colors for this week's color challenge. I decided to make a Christmas card.
First, I scored my gray background panel every 1/2" inch, then I dragged my black inkpad across it to give it a weathered look.
Next, I stamped all sorts of little images to create my Christmas wreath. I die cut the wreath from Swirly Scribbles and then started to build my wreath, I chose to pop up my ornaments with foam squares.
I heat embossed the sentiment and cut some banner ends to add it across my wreath popping it up with foam tape.
I hope you'll join us and try the color challenge this week. Thanks for the challenge and thanks for looking!

Your wreath yells "Merry" to everyone who sees it. Love the assortment of leaves and ornaments you used to create this. Your weathered wood bg really looks like weathered wood. Excellent job. A very cheery and festive card.

I love the originality of creating your own unique wreath, and also love the technique you used to create your wood panel. This is a sweet Christmas card!
