I chose a large circle (seem to have a thing for circles right now) and I've chosen to make it really large, to fill my card, as I wanted to use the wreath stamp I had for Christmas again.
Believe me, this card is much more attractive in RL. The wreath is simply embossed in gold, tried paper piecing small red berries, but that looked rubbish, so went for gems instead. I used gold mirri card for the matt and red glitter card for the panels, they are straight but don't look it here. The sentiment is a peel-off. As I used a red card stock for my card blank I have put a liner inside. I will be using this one for someone special I think, with all that bling!
I LOVE THIS!!! The colors are SO elegant and I adore the berry gems--so fabulous! I just adore that wreath image! And, yes, great minds think alike--LOVE me some glitter paper! ;) HUGS and happy weekend! :) Mynn xx
