Rustic Wreath

Good morning everyone!  It's going to be another warm day here although maybe not quite so muggy.  I hope so!  Can't really complain too much.  Have you seen the weather in parts of Alberta?  Snow!  Crazy!  I'll take our weather, thanks.  :-)

Anyway, I've got another Christmas card to share today.  I'm way ahead of the game this time for my favorite Christmas challenge, Festive Friday.  No last minute post for me!  Here's my card...



So I broke out my new favourite wreath stamp by Penny Black and stamped with soft suede (SU!) ink.  I coloured in a bunch of the dots with my metallic red gel pen (they look like they are berries to me).  I stamped my sentiment (a Michaels $1.50 bin buy) in moss green (SU!).  I attached this panel with foam dots to a kraft card base.  A simple but lovely card, I think.  Easily replicated if you wanted.

Here's the inspiration graphic from Festive Friday:



I'm also going to link up to Christmas Card Challenges where it's Anything Goes right now. And Christmas Cards All Year Round where the challenge is to use kraft and cream.

Well, I hope you all have a wonderful day!  Thanks for visiting!
