Here's my card
My background leaves a lot to be desired. I worked with it for quite a while and couldn't get it to look any better. The wreath, I am very happy with. I used Avery Elle's Winter Wreath. I love this wreath, but I always make it fuller. I stamped it twice with Fresh Asparagus ink rotating it 180 degrees each time. I took a paint brush will a little water and softened the ink. After it dried, I stamped it twice again with Pear Tart ink starting on the side and rotating it 180 degrees for the second stamping. I softened that color with water and a brush too. I removed some of the ink to add the red balls. I stamped some pinecones, evergreen sprigs and added some swipes with a white gel pen and a Rich Cocoa marker. The sentiment is a die from Simon Says Stamps called Merry Christmas. The gold ribbon is Wrights Wired Icicle Ribbon. Thanks so much for coming by to look!
