After checking out the two challenges, I flipped through my stash searching for likely stamp sets. I had a large pile but the one landing on top was the fun Hero Arts wreath set I chose. For some reason I have trouble lining up the second and third layers of the wreath but I just go with however it turns out!! The pale grey card with the white window layer reminded me of a door; I always have a wreath on my front door that changes with the seasons. I'm just realizing I forgot to take down the wreath with an Easter bunny on it - oops. Will have to remedy that asap!!
Thanks to Loll (host at CAS Christmas this month) and crew & Jo and her elf Robyn (coincidentally the person receiving my May Card Chain Challenge card) for fun challenges!! I probably will pop back in with another entry since my Christmas card stash needs building!
Thanks for stopping by!!
A perfect fit for both challenges! Love that wreath and the bow is so sweet. Thanks for joining Robyn and I at Christmas Kickstart, Jo x
ReplyDeleteYour wreath is beautiful, Linda! It looks like you lined it up perfectly to me. Love the clusters of berries and the gray and white "door" it's hanging on! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Christmas!
ReplyDeleteIt really does look like a door with hanging wreath Linda! Great design. And I love that you've used gray to go with your beautiful green leaves and red berry wreath! Thanks for sharing at CAS Christmas!

ReplyDeleteA gorgeous CAS wreath card Linda, loving the bright shades of greens and the pop of red with the berries... and then the white and grey background with stitched frame is a beautiful finish....thanks for sharing with Christmas Kickstart, Robyn.. and looking forward to my CCC card 😊
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful, Linda! I'm beginning to think I always just need to go with how it comes out for layering stamps as getting it "right" seems to be impossible for me!
