Welcome to this week's Merry Monday Challenge and Bonnie is challenging us to use a Wreath on our cards. I love the inspiration photo and mimicked it in my card with Stampin' Ups new stamp set "Wondrous Wreath" available in the new Holiday Catalogue on the 28th of August. It is a three step stamp set, I didn't get the darker green layer quite right, but I like it. I finished off the wreath with some shiny Silver and Red Pearls and the new Satin Ribbon also from Stampin' Up! I layered the Joy word three times, thought about clear embossing it but decided not too. I dry embossed the white background.
Supplies:
Stamps: S/U's Wondrous Wreath
Card and Papers: Whisper White, Real Red, Pear Pizzazz, Waxed Paper,
Ink: Pear Pizzazz, Mossy Meadow, Real Red
Finishing Touches: Shiny Silver and Red Pearls, Real Red Woven Satin Ribbon
Cool Tools: Big Shot, Sizzix Stripes E/Folder, Sizzix Wonderful Wreath Framelits Dies, Dble Sided Tape, Dimensionals, Tombow Multi Purpose Glue
Thanks for taking a peek today.
Hugs,
This is gorgeous - your design and colors really let the wreath and that gorgeous JOY shine!

It took me two tries to get this wreath layers correctly and my first one looked exactly like yours. It's beautiful!
