This card I started on Tuesday, and have only just managed to put it together tonight. My RA has flared up and the pain is keeping me awake, so to try to take my mind off it I've tried to do something useful.
It is for the Make My Monday challenge where the theme is Christmas with Flowers, Foliage, or snowflakes, and I'll also be entering it to the Pals Paper Arts challenge #121 who are looking for Elements of Style - Pearls.
For MMM, I chose the Flowers and Foliage option, as you can see its "The Holly and the Ivy" wreath with Poinsettias studded with pearls.
I then coloured some paper flowers with a red Pro marker and layered 2 together before adding them to the wreath on 3D pads. The finishing touches were the stamped sentiment, red bow, and white pearls in the flower centers.
Recipe : Card = Garden Green and white card stock from my stash
Stamps = Docrafts and Dovecrafts
Inks = Always Artichoke and Real Red
Tools = Ivy leaf punch
Extras = Red Ribbon, Pearls, and Cosmic Twinkles
I wish all my US readers a "Happy Thanksgiving", and my UK readers a "Happy weekend!"
Any minute now I will be turned into a pumpkin so I'd better get this post done PDQ!
On Saturday I'm off to see the 3D Arthur Christmas film at the cinema with my family........Nathan says I have to sit next to him incase I'm scared!! Bless Him. I'll let you know how I get on!
Thanks for dropping by, and hope you'll stop by again soon
Beautiful wreath!
