For my version the wreath layer is 4 1/2 inches square and I used a nestabilities circle die to draw a circle (2 1/8 inch diameter) in pencil in the center. My stampa-ma-jig got a workout in stamping the Peaceful Wishes mistletoe image four times in Palette Burn Umber and then four times in Close to Cocoa (alternating). Then I used the Branch Out splatter stamp with Ruby Red, Only Orange, Crushed Curry and Dusty Durango. When it looked enough like a Bittersweet wreath to me, I stamped the splatter stamp once more with Versamark and embossed with Iridescent Ice EP. As a finishing touch I used my Scor-pal to create a 1/8 inch border around the edges. It was then layered onto Chocolate Chip and popped up on dimensionals over the swirly textured layer.
The finished card measures 5 1/2 inches square.

Wow! This one is gorgeous, Linda! The colors are beautiful against the white, and I love how the Spellbinders tag matches the embossed background panel. Very elegant!
Obviously a very favored card; look how many have put it in their Favorites file! Lovely, absolutely gorgeous work. I would never, ever attempt this, but I was so impressed I saved it so I can look at it again and agin. And thank you for the details without saying,"Check it out on my blog..." Truly a beautiful card.
