Look closely. This is not your ordinary Christmas or Holiday stamp set. I took a 5 pointed flower to create a poinsettia bouquet at the top of a leafy wreath. But, I only accented one flower with a pearl and a stampin' dimensional (sometimes less is more).
I used three petals from the flower punch to create the leaves. And, did you notice a puddle of silver thread behind the leaves. I like those tiny details that keep the eye traveling around the card, don't you?
To make the wreath, I lightly drew a circle shape using a circular container (from Stampin Up's circular container in which the pearls came). Then, stamp on and around the circle with leaves from your favorite floral set. Lastly add holly berries and leaves, colored onto the stamp with the red and green marker.
The velum band in wrapped around the white card and adhered in the back, so the adhesive would not show. I quite liked making this card from a stamp set that turned out to be more versatile than I thought.
Hope you enjoyed your stop here. Please come back again - and if you leave a comment, I would enjoy that, too!
Warm Wishes,
