Sometimes when I see a stamping challenge I immediately know what stamp set I'm going to use. When there is a layout with a big circle in it only a few months before Christmas it's 90% of the time going to be a wreath card! I just can't help myself; once I see that circle there's no going in a different direction. This exact scenario happened this week when I saw the Global Design Project layout. Big circle = wreath!
So I pulled out the Wishes All Around bundle and the only thing to decide was which of the 3 wreaths to use! I went with the trees this time and played around with a fun color combo; Highland Heather, Coastal Cabana and Orchid Oasis.
I always seem to end up with retired In Color DSP and of course this pack is no exception so I used a piece of the Orchid Oasis in a light polka dot pattern as my card front (the full base is Basic White thick). I layered a piece of Basic White embossed with the Snowflake Sky embossing folder and edged with strips of Coastal Cabana.
The tree wreath is stamped in Coastal Cabana and die cut. I then stamped a few trees each in Orchid Oasis and Highland Heather and cut them out. I alternated the different colors around the wreath and then popped it up on mini dimensionals.
To follow the sketch I stamped the sentiment from Merry & Bright in Orchid Oasis and then cut them out and adhered them to the side of the wreath.
An Iridescent ribbon tied in a fork bow tops the wreath and some adhesive-backed glitter sequins are added in opposite corners for a bit of sparkle and balance.
All of the current products used to make this card can be purchased in my ONLINE STORE.
