FF21UnderstandBlueA WCW072 Golden Christmas

Photo Details

Poster: cdimick

Lydia's Falliday challenge was the perfect incentive to get me to try Watercolor challenge 72, Winter Wreaths. I had wanted to try it when they posted it but didn't take the time.

After watching the video, I painted this Christmas wreath. Such fun, I'm glad I took the time. I put gold glitter on the front of my card, heat embossed a sentiment in the wreath and popped it up on the gold glitter paper and finished with a strip of Christmas plaid that also has golden stripes in it.

Thanks for the challenges and thanks for looking!
