Welcome to my crafty blog and another Christmas card in non-traditional colours! This time it’s the holly wreath from ClarityCrafts ‘Christmas wreaths’ set, combining the colours from Color Dare, the CAS circle layout from Just Us Girls and the ‘deck the halls’ theme from Less is More.
I stamped the holly wreath in ‘peacock feathers’ Distress Oxide onto a piece of white card, coloured the leaves with the ink and a waterbrush and used a pink Pergacolour pen for the berries
I added the sentiment with ‘picked raspberry’ Distress Oxide, fussy cut the wreath and simply attached it to the front of a 5×5 card blank on which I’d created a frame with a circle embedder.
I really love these colours on the wreath!
Beautiful! Always love non-traditional colors!
