LIST: Colours (red, white, green, peach), Techniques (die cutting), Elements (grid of circles, florals, die cut sentiment, gems, stitching)
INCLUDE: red white green, die cutting, grid, die cut sentiment, gems
MODIFY: added pink and blue, changed patterned paper circles to hand-coloured 'wreaths', added black frame
EXCLUDE: stitching, peach, floral
I love grids and I love geometrics, so I was immediately drawn to this pretty inspiration.
I kind of discovered this die cut 'wreath' shape by accident by combining two of the dies in the Mandala Quad die set. I coloured them with Copics, using lighter and darker shades of each colour to create the look of dimension.
I couldn't resist trying to make one on a black background for a different look:

Fabulous discovery -- those "wreaths" also remind me of flowers and snowflakes. So many ways to use them. As always, your colors and flawless coloring are bright, happy and joyful, so perfect bg for your sentiment die. Wonderful card.

Hi Ardyth, I am honored that you were inspired by one of my cards! I absolutely love your twist on my original card - I really like both the white version and the black version that you made. What a happy accident to discover these incredible shapes, enhanced even further by your talented coloring skills. Great color choices, very versatile to be used for more than just Christmas. HUGS, Mer
