Hi! This card was made for today's Sketch Challenge.
Every year I put up a "stick wreath." Seriously, it's a foam wreath with real sticks poked in it. I sprayed the sticks with "Spray Snow" as a JOKE, and gave it to a friend as a Christmas gift. You know what? I got it back as a Christmas gift the next year! We passed it to one another for over 20 years...She passed away 6 years ago, and I display it every Christmas. Speedy the Cat hisses at it, but hey, it's a memory.
I stamped the wreath in Espresso and used a sponge to add color. I filled in the berries with an Inkssentials pen.
The curved panel was cut with a Pierceabilities die. The Lime Squeeze panel was stamped with Basket Weave.
