MM123 + DS166


Hi Friends, Today I have a card for Merry Monday 123 Challenge. The challenge is to add a wreath to your card. I made a wreath with a MS punch and a die cut circle. Note to self, get a wreath stamp! I used this week's Deconstructed Sketch 166. The papers on this one really steal the show. I believe most are Fancy Pants and the red background is Basis Grey. Per the sketch I added enamel dots and I added a knotted bow on the wreath from a snippet I had in my ribbon scrap jar. The Joy sentiment is MFT.

So I'm off to get this posted to the challenge and then head to the CT shore for one last beach day.

  18. This is a wonderful card, and why do you need a wreath stamp when you can make this fabulous die cut wreath??
