Contemporary Wreath

Back again with another Christmas card for 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown and it's week two of the month and so it must be a colour challenge

  These vibrant colours, to me, just demanded a thoroughly modern take on Christmas and so my card features a very stylised wreath, made from different sized circles punched out from all five of the featured colours...



The bow is tied using the fork method and the sentiment, from Contempo Christmas (apt, eh?) is stamped in Perfect Plum onto a die cut, which I think is Apothecary Art, but which may be called something different- I don't own it I just borrowed it! I finished off with a few gems to jazz it up. You don't have to use all 5 colours, just a minimum of three.
I'm going to enter the challenge at Completely Christmas again this week, where Anything Goes and atCrafty Hazel nuts Christmas Challenge where the theme is Let it Shine ( my gems on the wreath) and Crafty Hazelnuts Extra Christmas Challenge, where anything goes as long as it's Christmas.
UPDATE - My card won at Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas challenge, thank you, Hazel.
