Here’s my card.
The pine needles were die cut from scraps of Bristol paper using Pine Needle Trio dies from Memory Box (MB). Arranged and glued the pine needles onto a ring that was also die cut from Bristol paper using MB Circle Basics dies. Backed the opening with MB white woodgrain paper then die cut the berries from alcohol marker friendly cardstock using MB Mistletoe Bundle. Coloured them with Copic Sketch markers, then added a highlight dot to each berry with a white Gelly roll pen.
Didn’t have a bow die I like (need to remedy that with some retail therapy 😉), so decided to add a cardinal (retired) instead to keep with the red and white colour scheme. It was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on alcohol marker friendly cardstock and coloured with the same markers used for the berries. The sentiment from the same set was white heat embossed on black cardstock. Fussy cut both the cardinal and sentiment out, then assembled the card onto a Bristol stitched rectangle panel from my stash to finish.

ReplyDeleteNow that's one very special wreath card and I love the white with the pop of red...a stunner Trina x.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great card by WOW !! I love every detail, it's just a perfect design. When I read that the berries are colored with a marker, I found it hard to believe because they look like real shiny balls. Wonderful coloring work, the combination of white, black and red is so amazing!
