My card is made for two challenges:
Our Daily Bread Designs and Stampin' Sisters in Christ. More about these challenges and inspiration on my blog.
I am using a stamp set from ODBD called Sing for Joy. I used the small pine and cone from the set and stamped in a circle to form the wreath. I was having a bit of a hard time getting the circle so I used a circle nestabilitie and stamped inside it, then cut it out and embossed. This worked really well. I stamped the pinecones twice, once in green and again in brown. Popped the brown ones. I glittered the pinecones, added the ribbon and sentiment.
I have all Christmas cards made and gone so this one will be used for something else.

This is soooo gorgeous!!! I have never thought of using that stamp for a wreath! You are so clever!! I may just have to 'lift' that idea, if that's okay with you!

Benzi, I am really impressed with your beautiful card. The sparkly pine cones won me over - you know how I love sparkle. But, everything about this is just so perfectly put together. I love the pine branches and the verse too. The ribbon and dp just top it off. Great job - Can I be your #1 friend now? I did compliment you a lot!!!
