This week's Jingle Belles prompt is the Holly & the Ivy … create a card that includes some holiday foliage.
I love making paper punched wreaths … it was the entire reason I purchased this Martha Stewart Punch … it's therapeutic for me in a way. I punched branches from three different colors of green cardstoc (including some shimmery Core'dinations) and just started assembling.
Once my focal wreath was done, i started pulling together the rest of the design using a Deconstructed Sketch #141. I was going to go for a more traditional bow, but once I pulled the other golden colors into my design … this one from Oh Deer Me seemed right.
The sentiment is from two different Crafter's Companion Sentimentals … larger circle from Jingle Bells and the center from Christmas Magic. I finished with some golden yellow pearls.
I'm also joining the Anything Goes Challenge at Addicted to Stamping.
So pull out your holly, your ivy, your evergreen and pine … and join us at Jingle belles.
You’ve done a fantastic job of layering those branches. And I really like the gold accents vs traditional red. I have an idea for this one … need to let it simmer for a while longer. 🙂
Great wreath and what a fab glitter bow. Thanks for joining us at ATSM
Oh wow, that is a fantastic wreath and I do like the tiny pearls too. Lovely colours too. Thanks so much for playing along with ASM this week!
Nice holiday card! Like the ever trendy yellow gold/gold/shimmer. 🙂
