Pink Christmas wreath 2

Here's my second version of the pink wreath card. This time I did stamp the pink wreath the way I had intended, namely slightly offset from the white image. It's a technique I've been meaning to try for a while now, and I love the effect that the white and pink give on the kraft.


Again, the card is based on the following sketch:


Because this wreath is more delicate than the one with double pink stamping, I also kept the sequin embellishments more simple, using only a few large silver ones and a number of small white irridiscent ones that have a lovely soft pink glow.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
Jingle Belles - Pink Christmas...for the cure
CAS(E) this Sketch - Challenge #50
Creative Craft Challenges - #21 Anything goes blogaversary
SNSSC24 - An. goes with glitter, embossing powder an/or flokcing

    It's gorgeous and a great sketch you worked with. Your sentiment piece looks very pretty across the wreath.

    Hello stranger! Sorry I haven't been by in such a long time...don't know where the days/weeks/months are disappearing to :-( Your card is so pretty...love the pink and offset white wreath. The sequins are a great idea for decorations. Hopefully I won't be as long visiting the next time xx
