Embossed wreaths

I'm popping in with a quick post so that I can link up my cards at Beccy's Place where there's a race going on.


I started by cutting and scoring several sheets of cardstock in green and red and stamping the SSS gingham background in tone on tone (Spruce and Rockin' Red, CP inks). I had embossed my (square panel) wreaths last year, but could not figure out how to use them on my cards. I decided to fussy cut the wreaths and blend a little ink over it, and then used a marker to add colour to the berries


I discovered that this sentiment by Penny Black fitted perfectly in the middle of my wreaths, so I used my MISTI to stamp them and heat embossed them in gold. To finish off, I adhered a strip of gold glitter washi across before popping up my wreaths using thin foam tape.

I'm also linking up my cards at:

Stamping Sensations - Getting ready for Christmas

Sparkle's Christmas - #95 Embossing (heat or dry - I used both)

CHNC - #413 Anything Christmas goes

It's the end of the month and that means 
it's also time for the November Rudolph Days

    I am seeing a lot with this gingham background stamp and fear it now has to go on my wish list as it is such a versatile stamp!

    Gorgeous wreaths Marianne, what a fabulous design. I love the sentiment you added to the middle, isn't it great when you find your supplies fit well together? You did a wonderful job matching all the background papers, they're very festive. Great job!
    Cheers,

    What a great idea! Love that you managed to save the wreaths from last year and you got some inspiration to make them work on this card. Love the tartan! xx
