Good morning my blogging friends. Today I combined two challenges for my card - Merry Monday Christmas Challenge (use a wreath on your card) and Marisa's challenge on JUGS Wild Card Week (anything other than a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 card).
I made a center step card and made it a Christmas card with a wreath.
My card base is SU Whisper White and the mats are Real Red CS. The DSP is from the Lawn Fawn Peace, Love & Joy 6x6 pad. The sentiment and wreath are from Verve's O Christmas Tree set. I stamped both in Mememto Tuxedo Black ink and colored the wreath with Promarkers and cut it out. I paper-pieced the bow with Real Red CS and added gold rhinestones to the centers of the poinsettias. I then mounted it with foam dimensionals and added the two green buttons tied with white Baker's Twine. The die-cut flourish is from MFT's Formal Flourish.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
