I’m back with another brand new stamp set that ClarityCrafts are launching this weekend as part of their 30th birthday celebrations. The ‘Christmas Wreaths’ are part of the KISS (Keep It Simple Stamping) ‘build-a-bauble’ range and obviously perfect for Christmas cards!

I started with the the holly wreath stencil from Clarity’s ‘Christmas rounds’ set and brushed ‘bundled sage’ Distress Oxide through it onto a piece of card cut to fit on a 6×6 card blank. I then stamped the holly wreath from the new set into the centre of the stencilled one, using ‘library green’ Archival ink.

I shaded in the stamped holly leaves with Pergaliner pencils, then used a red Pergacolour pen to highlight the berries.

I stamped the sentiment from the set into the centre of the wreaths, again using the ‘library green’ ink, mounted the card onto a co-ordinating piece of Northern Lights companion paper & onto a 6×6 card blank.

This one is firmly back in my CAS comfort zone and these stamps would be perfect if you;re batch making Christmas cards. I’m sharing this one with the challenges at The Holly and Ivy (anything goes), Addicted to CAS for their ‘holidays’ theme and Simply Clean & Simple, where their optional theme is to use a stencil.
