Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #661


One thing I have not done in a long time is Christmas cards. Usually time gets away from me and they aren't done with enough time to send. I decided to bite the bullet this time around and start my Christmas creations (time will tell if I finish them) with this JAI challenge.

You can tell I love a good flowery card but not having in my stash any wreath stamp sets I had to get creative and make my own. I randomly watercoloured some Fluid 100 watercolour paper with Pool Party and Lost Lagoon inks and then using one of the leaf fies from the Pierced Blooms dies I cut out quite a few, I think about 10 in all. I also cut some in Pretty Peacock. To make the wreath I die cut a large circle in Pool Party cardstock and just started layering them around the edge. The flowers were just some randoms from the retired Lovely Flowers edgelits that I cut from Basic White and coloured in with Berry Burst Blends. I also used Blends to colour pearls for the flower centres.

Once the wreath was basically done I popped it up off an embossed Basic White layer on a Pool Party base. Some retired ribbons and embellishments, and a sentiment from Itty Bitty Christmas finished my card.
