A blog devoted to the cards I make in my tiny upstairs space. When my sister stays there, she calls it an "artist's garret". I'm not an artist, but am an enthusiastic cardmaker - hence the title "Cardmaker's Garret".

A Twiggy Wreath

The December Happy Little Stampers' Christmas challenge for December is "wreath".


I just received a new wreath die from a small Canadian company called Lime Citron.

I created this card with it:


I die cut it from brown and made a sentiment banner with the same cs.  I love the tiny stars that are part of the vine wreath but they didn't look very good just in brown so I added tiny shimmery star stickers to the brown stars.


The background is a simple embossed panel.  I kept it all very flat as I need to mail it.

You have until the end of the month to link up your card at Happy Little Stampers.  I'm looking forward to seeing what you create.






Supplies:
Stamps - Rubber Soul sentiment
Ink - ColorBox white
Paper - white and brown cs
Size - A2
Accessories - Lime Citron vine wreath die, banner die, tiny silver star stickers, silver cord, white embossing powder, Crafts Too embossing folder

    Sensational design. I like embossed background on which beautifully presents the wreath. The addition of these cute little stars is a hit :-)

    Fabulous wreath die, so different from any I've seen. Love how you've sparkled up the stars and added a star embossed background too.

    I love stars, and the embossed background in your card is wonderful. I love your sparse grapevine wreath, and the stars adorning it. I alo love the touch of the little cord on the top. Stephanie L, DT
