I love this twiggy wreath from Close To My Heart's Remarkable Wreath. The set was a birthday gift from my friend Chris earlier this year. (thanks again, Chris!) It makes the cutest berry-laden Christmas wreath.
After stamping the berries in red, I added Ruby Red Liquid Pearls on some and iridescent Stickles glitter glue on others. That iridescent glue changed the color of the ink beneath, so now they have more of an apricot hue. This happy accident works for me! The sentiment below is from Tinsel & Twig / The Girls' Paperie.
The next two cards use the same wreath, and a different sentiment from Tinsel & Twig.
I'm showing the before and after pics of these next two cards. They seemed too bare to me at first, so I added a strip of red cardstock to each.

In real life, I liked those cards better with the strips of red added, but now that I see them in photos, I'm not so sure!

SO gorgeous!! LOVING those wreaths!!!
ReplyDeleteThat wreath just blows me away every time! I love what you've done with it, Colleen! And that was a good lesson about just adding a little somethin' somethin' on those CAS cards. Now I'm thinking even another strip or red, narrower so it's like a candy cane, would also be pretty. I'm bookmarking this post!! TFS! Hugs, Darnell
