Now... here is my card....
I used the Christmas Door set, stamping with Archival Ink on Watercolor paper, and water coloring with Tim Holtz Markers. I stamped my sentiment from the same set, cut with a Spellbinders Ribbon Tag Trio die, then I stamped the greenery from the door stamp along the top and lower edge of the panel. I then applied Flower Soft in Vintage Christmas to both the image and the sentiment panel. The base is Bazzill, the dp is K&Co Christmas Cheer, and the dies used for the sentiment border are 2 of the Spellbinders Holly Accents. The embossing folder is Cuttlebug Holly Stripes, and the die cuts in the top corners are Provocraft. The ribbon is from my stash, and the red pearls are from AC Moore. I added Glossy Accents to my popped up bow on the wreath. I also added touches of glitter, which I hope you can see in the close up below.
Thanks so much for stopping by... and now I will send you to the next stop... Ever so Talented Lori!
Blessings,
