Christmas Wreath

Christmas is the time of year when EVERYONE decorates. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Merry Minis

Paper:

   Real Red A-2

   Myths & Magic 6x6 Glimmer 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 4" Sq., 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Garden Green

   Real Red

   Soft Sea Foam

Technique:

   Brushing/Sponging

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Deckled Circles Dies

   Boxwood Wreaths Embellishments

   Very Vanilla & Copper Ribbon 6"

   Glue Dots

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I die cut the wreath, using the Deckled Circles Dies. You can make your wreath any size you like. I used the 3-3/4" circle for the outer rim and the 1-1/2" circle in the center.

I then brushed the wreath with Soft Sea Foam and stamped images, using the Merry Minis stamps. 

Next, I attached the wreath onto the glimmer paper, using dimensionals.

I then adhered the ribbon with the sentiment clearly in the center. I wrapped the ribbon around to the back and secured it with glue dots. You can use any adhesive you like. I also use glue dots on the back of the ribbon to keep it secured onto the glimmer paper.

Next, I adhered this panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Real Red card front.

I then added the boxwood wreath, using glue dots.

The red bow was gifted to me by a fellow stamper, so I don't have any info on it. I adhered it onto the top center of the wreath, using a glue dot.

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Green Leaves

It is time to focus on the POSITIVE! The world around us accentuates the negative. The media tells us that if something isn't wrong then it is not newsworthy. Look at a newspaper and all the headlines point to disaster. So, let's change it! SMILE and be positive. It is contagious. Thoughts?

The background for my image was created a while back using my gel press, acrylic paint and my brayer. Basically, I poured a few drops of acrylic paint onto my gel press. I then used my brayer to spread the paint. I then placed my white paper on it and gave it a press. I created several backgrounds. This one was one of the last that was used to pick up the very last of the ink.

I stamped my tree and then my sentiment directly on top of the background.

I adhered this panel onto the Call Me Clover panel, and then onto the Early Espresso. This was then adhered to the Whisper White card base. The other Whisper White panel was adhered to the inside of the card.

Lastly, I added the Boxwood Wreath to the bottom of the tree. I straighten out the wreath and spread the leaves. This is where I used my Fast Fuse. You can use any strong adhesive that you have on hand.
