Hi everyone. Today's card is again inspired by several challenges. I just received a new twig wreath die in the mail ... so perfect timing to use it right away for the Christmas Kickstart challenge. I die-cut the wreath four times (2 from both light and medium gray card stock), and also did a little sponging around the outside edges with Basic Gray ink (SU!). A simple hole punch was used to create the berries from Cherry Cobbler card stock. The wreath is placed on top of an embossed card front (Snowflake Oval Frame - Simon Says Stamp embossing folder). To finish, I added a die-cut sentiment in matching Basic Gray ink.

Beautiful wreath, Loll! I love it done in the grays with the pop of the cherry cobbler berries! The embossed snowflakes are a perfect frame! Sue N
This is such a wonderful full wreath Loll, and so pretty layered with two of each of the grey tones, and the deep red berries stand out beautifully over the top, and finished with a lovely sentiment...the frame of snowflakes embossed on the background looks great too..a spectacular Christmas card. x
