I love the Woodland Wreaths stamp set! It’s so easy to make a variety of holiday wreaths…if only I could create actual wreaths like that! Mine tend to turn out fairly wonky… 😉
Anyway, I stamped the wreath images with a variety of dye inks and then added some berries heat-embossed with gold tinsel embossing powder. Next I stamped and die-cut the wreath embellishments and added them to the wreath with regular adhesive and foam mounting tape. I added the sentiment from the Hand-Lettered Holiday and then used a border die from Mama Elephant to add a decorative bottom edge. I layered it over red cardstock and added little touches of clear wink of stella glitter on my wreath and sentiment.
It’s not a party without a prize – and with prizes every day there are several chances to win! Today’s prize is generously supplied by WPlus9 so you’ll definitely want to get your hands on it!
