Merry Monday
 |
| and August!! |
I had some loose wreath pieces laying around and, during my crafty clean-up, I'm trying to use some of this random stuff. I layered two wreath and added some extra leaves. The die cut bow ended up on another project weeks ago so I added some patterned twill ribbon. I scored a few lines above the sentiment (hard to see in the photo) for some texture. This fits Challenge 244 to use a wreath on your card.
Supplies: Paper - DCWV A2 card, scraps of various greens
Sentiment stamp - Hero Arts CL890 Holiday Greetings
Die - Tim Holtz Alterations Holiday Wreath
Other - foam tape, Copic Markers, Michael's dome gems, craft ribbon
Ugh - had to make another sympathy card today; a friend's dad passed away after a brief illness. Luckily I had stamped several sets of fuchsia flowers when I made a previous card so I just made a duplicate of that design. Then I made another Christmas card I'll be sharing in the near future. Now it's time to take inventory for September occasions - there are a bunch coming up so I'll need to get busy on those cards! How far in advance do you make your cards? Just curious - I try for at least a couple weeks, usually a month, ahead.
That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out Merry Monday to keep up that Christmas card production!!

A beauty of a wreath, Linda, and the red sequin/berries and the pretty ribbon are lovely additions.! I generally check a month ahead for upcoming events that I'll need cards for.
This wreath is on my wish list! Beautiful use of the die set! Sorry to hear about your friend's father.
I love wreaths & yours is so full & beautiful, Linda--love the ribbon & the score lines!
