I wanted to create another quick CAS Christmas card that I could easily multiply for one of my designs for the September CCC13 Splitcoaststampers Christmas Card Challenge (if you recall, I have committed to 20-25 cards per month with 5 to 6 designs per month). Again, work has been hectic and I am so far behind on my own commitmentÂ….
I decided to use the colors from the Hand Stamped Sentiments HSSSC168 Color Challenge along with using a non-traditional stamp to create the wreath- believe it or not, it is from Bright Blossoms. This is another stamp set that lends itself to the Clean And Simple (which I struggle with) and bright colors- again, sometimes a struggle for me. So I have not inked up this stamp set until now :-)
If interested, I have free detailed instructions on My Blog
Thanks again for looking- have a great weekend!

I never would have thunked to stamp a wreath with that stamp set...You are very clever and I love it. I especially like how you highlighted the berries too.

Stunning card. Your colors are wonderful. The wreath is so clever. The bow is the famous "Julie bow"=beautiful. The sentiment really stands out in perfectly stamped vellum. But my most favorite part is the focal image's shape--so striking.
Thank you for creating cards that truly inspire.
