Wreath Wishes

Hello! I'm popping in with a clean and simple card for the wonderful Curtain Call Welcome Home challenge. How inspiring is this...

I knew I had to use Simple Christmas from Neat and Tangled. This is the set I chose when I won the Curtain Call last month and it was perfect for this inspiration pic! Somehow I've had my head buried in the sand and this is my first Neat and Tangled stamp set. Mark my words, it won't be my last!

I wanted my card to have a thick, rich texture, so my panel and cardbase is watercolour paper. I stamped my wreath and had lots of fun adding all the little elements. I've used two inks for the leaves and popped up the pinecones.

I've added little dots around the wreath with glaze pen and clear glitter pen, though I don't think you can see it in the photos. I curved the sentiments before stamping.

I'm also playing along with the Simon Says Wednesday challenge - clean and simple cards, and CASology to use Brown, I've used a dark brown and kraft on my wreath.

Here's the inside of my card...

Um, ok. Yes, I realise the way I positioned those leaves makes it look kinda like that's a pineapple not a pinecone. Let's just go with it, ok?! *grin*

Thanks for stopping by!
