Hello! We had our first snow that stuck (for a day) this week. It’s put me in more of a Christmas mood....while still wanting to hold on to Autumn as long as possible. And while we’ve had Thanksgiving already in Canada, its always good to be full of thanks no matter the circumstances. So today’s card is a bit of a transitional design between Thanksgiving and Christmas with new goodies from The Stamp Market. This is the October Kit from The Stamp Market, and it includes a gorgeous oblong wreath for a shaped card design, lots of dies to accent the wreath and a coordinating sentiment set, dies and paper in the kit. It’s a beauty!
I went with some cool greens from the kit to design my wreath, and rather than flowers in the wreath, I only used the flower centers to create berries for the greenery. Perfect to lean it more toward Christmas. Each bit of greenery was ink blended to give the leaves some extra dimension and colour.
The sentiment is a lovely one, and I embossed it in silver and used the coordinating dies to cut it out and pop it up with foam. With such great texture and colour, it didn’t need anything else to still be a gorgeous shaped design.
