Congrats to Dawn! What an awesome gallery! My first time visiting it and I found a whole lot of inspiration there! I picked several (for use later, lol) but for this one I chose Leaf Wreath. I kept the Christmas theme, layout and used similar colors. I used different images, used dp and a little different sentiment backing.
I created my wreath by stamping the holly ornament image and coloring it w/ markers. I decided the ink wasn't quite dark enough so I traced it w/ a dk green Micron pen. A little sparkle was added to the berries w/ a clear stardust pen. I used a square Nestie to just emboss the frame around it.
The sentiment was inked w/ wine red and dk jade markers before stamping. The dk red backing layer was created w/ a ribbon tag die that I flipped (similar to my Nestie Resizing Technique), turned and snipped off the tabs on the ends. The finished card is 5.5 x 4.25.
Thanks so much for looking! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.
