Dahlia Christmas wreath

Hello crafty friends! I'm popping in today with a Christmas card. I had almost forgotten about this month's Rudolph Days challenge but remembered just in time. And there's also a new to me challenge that I found through Darnell's blog, Christmas 24. Another fun challenge to encourage us to create our Christmas cards all year long.


I created my wreath using NBUS Dahlia turnabout stamp by Concord & 9th and several colours of CP ink.(Grass skirt, Eucalyptus, Spruce and Seafoam). I will need to practice a little more to get the dahlia/wreath lined out to perfection, but I don't think the recipient will notice it's slightly off this time.

I die cut my panel using a SSS stitched rectangle (Bundele of stitched shapes) and popped up the stamped and die cut sentiment (SSS Christmas word mix 1) with a gold thread nest and foam tape.

    Clever idea to use the Turnabout stamp for a Christmas card in those shades of green. I like the additional sentiment in the circle too x

    Wat een mooie kleurencombinatie, Marianne.
    Ook je stempeltekst en lettervorm vind ik prachtig.
    Mooi geheel met nog de groene omlijsting.

    How clever of you to use the turnabout dahlia stamp to create a wreath! I love that you added a gold thread nest. Thanks for joining us at Addicted to Stamps and More! Apologies for the late comment.
