Non Traditional Wreath

Second week of January and the 52 {Christmas{ Card Throwdown team are here to help you create your cards for Christmas 2014.  The idea is that if you make one card a week for our challenge you will have (almost) 52 cards ready to send without any last minute stress- works for me- everyone got a handmade card this year and I was very proud of myself!
This week it is a colour challenge. You don't have to use them all - a minimum of three, but do not add any colours (other than a neutral for your card /stamping base). They are wonderfully non-Christmas colours so you can have a ball!

 I chose not to use the yellow


I used the sentiment from Delightful Dozen and the wreath stamp is a new one my husband popped in my Christmas stocking -clever of him to know just what I wanted ;) I have added just a touch of Christmas sparkle, which you can see in this close up. I think I'll pop this one into  Crafty Hazelnuts extra Christmas Challenge for January too

    I love the colors you chose and the enhancement of small berries with golden christmas sparkle is a gorgeous finish.
    Happy New Year to you too, Louise. Best wishes for you and your family.
    Hugs Rosi

    This is absolutely perfect! Just the right amount of sparkle for those colors together. Definitely inspired me with this one!

    It's very gorgeous Louise! What a great wreath stamp and what a nice hubby :o).
    PS did I ever thank you for the wonderful Christmas card you sent me? I got it a few days after Christmas - it was such a nice surprise and it was one of my favorite cards of yours. Thanks so much :o)
