Happy Wednesday, peeps! Today is my busy day-errands, working at church, grocery--trying to make all my trips on one day to save on gas, right? I had a very relaxed day yesterday but I did make one card for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge:
The sketch had a lot of elements in it and I wasn't sure if I felt motivated enough to create something that detailed, but I did need a thank you card for a customer, so I pulled out Cottage Wreath and the matching Country Wreath dies and went to work! First, I just diecut a punch of leave and foliage pieces and then put them in my pre-cut diecut templates in my Stamparatus so I could stamp them easily. Did the same with the wreath shape and finally decided on what papers to use! So here we go:
I may have gone a wee bit overboard with the foliage...but I kept tucking things in here and there and I finally decided I'd better stop! I did find that using Glue Dots to adhere the smaller pieces is much neater than trying to use glue! The card base is Crushed Curry with a mat of He's the Man DSP. I embossed and sponged a panel of Very Vanilla with the Pinewood Planks EF, then cut four 3/8" pieces of some plaid DSP for the horizontal elements. I stamped the wreath in Crumb Cake and added "foliage" in Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze, then a few more elements in the same colors:
The sentiment is from the retired Teeny Tiny Wishes, and I added some Faceted Gems and gold rhinestones for fun! It's already in the mail! Thanks for visiting today--enjoy it and be blessed!
