Amanda has a lovely gallery, wonderful coloring skills and I loved her Christmas Cranberry Wreath when I saw it. My wreath isn't nearly as dimensional as hers, but it is a wreath. I had a small portion of a plaid I'd stamped quite some time ago, as well as the kraft panel, with the Hand Lettered Holiday BG embossed in white. I combined those items, die cut 2 of the rustic wreaths and added the snowflakes, candy discs and a small twine bow. I added small rhinestones to the snowflake centers for a bit of bling. Here's Amanda's pretty wreath.

What a lovely wreath Sue, with the little showflakes and peppermints - so pretty with the plaid strip and text background! We seem to often be posting next to each other!

I really like this plaid and the white embossed overall sentiment panel you combined for this. The soft colors are a perfect backdrop for the wreath's bright green. Love the tiny snowflakes and peppermint candies! The red and white baker's twine is a perfect finishing touch!

the peppermints on the wreath really spoke to me. A candy wreath is much better than one without. I am BIG on every kind of candy! I love the plaid too!

I really Love your card! You picked a challenging item to CASE, but yours looks absolutely spectacular!! I love how you combined a handstamped plaid paper with another stamped background image, to create two really good background patterned papers! I mean, that's a crazy good idea that looks Fantastic! Your CASE looks Amazing and I love the candy and snowflakes you added, they really add that perfect Christmasy touch and feel!
Thank you for playing along and CASE'ing one of my cards, I'm absolutely honored
