STAMPIN' UP! WONDROUS WREATH FOR MM #160

I have made a card for this week's Merry Monday Christmas Challenge, which is to use newsprint on a Christmas card.

I stamped the gorgeous wreath, from Wondrous Wreath, directly onto a piece of Typeset Designer Series Paper.  Using Always Artichoke ink, I "stamped off" the image once onto scrap paper, then stamped it (without re-inking) onto the text panel.  I added a second layer of leaves in full-strength Always Artichoke, and berries in Cherry Cobbler.  A few rhinestones, coloured with Cherry Cobbler blendabilities, add a bit of sparkle to the otherwise rustic-looking wreath.

 

 

Here's a closer view of the sparkly berries:

It has been a while since I made a Christmas card, and I really enjoyed this challenge; I must make the effort to join in more often at Merry Monday.  It feels good to have Christmas cards made well in advance of the madness of November and December!
