Stenciled Christmas Wreath

Hi all - TGIF! I'm here with a quick card for Christmas Kickstart #101 to use a wreath. I pulled out a previously unused wreath stencil set from 2022 & a new-to-me sentiment die.


Supplies: Paper - Neenah Solar White;
Hero Arts Bermuda; scraps
Stencils - Hero Arts Color Layering Wreath
Other - Hero Arts Glitter Paste; fine line pens;
Distress Inks

I took an A2 piece of Neenah and stenciled the four layers of the wreath using Iced Spruce, Pine Needles, Rustic Wilderness and Fired Brick Distress Inks. Die cut the panel with a stitched rectangle & inked the edges and corners with leftover Fired Brick. Over the Pine Needles stencil layer I applied glitter paste. After dry, I adhered to an A2 card and added details with a black and green pen. Die cut and layered the sentiment & adhered to the card.

Very quick and easy! Since the stencils & sentiment dies are new, I'll also add my card to Darnell's August NBUS Challenge #77. Plus I'll play at Merry Little Christmas #63 where Anything Christmas Goes; this is my 5th of a possible 8 entries there.

That's it for today. Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a crafty weekend!!
