(here is the finished inside of my card:)
I was lucky enough to win this stamp set from The Alley Way Stamps and thought it was high time I used it! On my card base, I stamped three of the snowflake stamps with Versa Mark. I heat embossed the word believe then glued two wreaths above it (using two different colors of green card stock). This was adhered to the card base with foam squares after adhering the white panel to a slightly larger red panel. I colored and fussy cut the smallest cardinal stamp (isn't that cute little birdie adorable?!), and adhered it to the wreath on a thin foam square. Added some rhinestones, finished the inside and was done!
I have so many more Christmas cards to make that I'm sure I'll be locked up in my craft cave A LOT this weekend! LOL! Thanks so much for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous wreath, Chris! It has just the right amount of red with the sweet cardinal and bling!
ReplyDeleteFabulous card, I wasn't sure if the wreath was a die or not when I looked as I have a stamp that is just like it. great idea for the two shades of green. I have lots of cards to make as well.
ReplyDeleteThis is perfection, Chris! Love the way you did the wreath and added that cute cardinal!
