After printing the background I stamped my wreath image, from Woodware Stamps, and then added tiny red buttons for the berries.
To add the required metallic element I have tied little silver bows and added two sentiment banners, using peel off stickers, which are, in my opinion, just right for the contempo style of this card
Do have a look at the cards from the rest of the team at 52 CCT and then link up your Christmas creation. I had a lovely surprise yesterday, as my Flonz stamps arrived from New Zealand. They were a prize from Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas Challenge a few weeks back, lucky me! Can't wait to test drive them. I am linking this card up to the challenge this week too, as Hazel wants cards with silver or gold on them. Why not link yours?
Loved the idea of using buttons for berries - what a lovely card - Jacqueline xx

A great challenge this week Louise. I love your Christmassy wreath, with its tiny buttons and bows, and the sentiment looks great continued across the width of the card (must try that).
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, hugs, Gill x
I love the strawberries this week must try to remember to make them for our family Christmas gathering when strawberries will be at their best.
