Hi everyone! I spent a rainy day today staying home and making Christmas cards! What fun! I have my TV set to the station that plays the Christmas songs. All I need is a tree and some lights!
Today's card has a wreath on it.
The papers that I used are from Bo Bunny 2011 release called Father Christmas. These papers are really nice with deep, rich colors and old fashioned style. I took this picture with a flash.
I took this picture without a flash. I'm not sure which one shows the beautiful colors of the card better. I'm not a camera person and this stuff just drives me crazy!
Close Up!
Here is the wreath close up. These come in a package like the chenille pipe cleaners do. These are called "Wired Pine" and are 12 inches long each. There are 12 to a package. The company label is called Christmas House. Unfortunately I can't remember where I got them from. I think it was Michaels. I cut about 4 inches from one stem and formed it into a circle. I twisted the ends together and added some gems and glued it under my bow. Very easy and looks good.
I have this close up because I wanted to show you the layering that I did. The front panel is slightly larger that the 5 1/4 x 4 mat. The green mat panel is about 1/8 inch larger than that. The right side edges blend in nicely.
I bought a bunch of the K & Company Christmas 3-d stickers this year. They are gorgeous. I added the clear gems below.
Thanks for stopping by! Come back again for more Christmas Cards 2011!
