Seasonal Wreath

Happy Saturday to all my blog friends!  We've had a wonderful week with beautiful weather...temperatures reaching the 80's.  With rain on the way, and even snow in some parts of the country, we'll enjoy it while we can.  Since it's been ages since I've shared Kody pictures, I'll include some photos of one of our walks at the end of this post!

But first...the new sketch for this week at The Sweet Stop. The circle element on the sketch was perfect for a wreath, so I reach for Seasonal Wreaths by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps and decided to add another Christmas card to my stash.

Creative Nugget:  An embossed first layer was sponged and attached to a Vintage Cream card base, and the Authentique decorative papers were stitched to Cherry Cobbler card stock. The fishtail banner is Cherry Cobbler and the sentiment, from the Christmas Tags stamp set, was stamped on a Vintage Cream fishtail banner with some lace added for texture, instead of the scalloped border.  The Christmas wreath was die cut with the matching Wreath Die, stamped, and colored with Copic Markers. To make the wreath pop, it was mounted on a Cherry Cobbler Circle Nestie and an Old Olive Scalloped Nestie.  The berries on the wreath were covered with Glossy Accents, and a few pearls were added to the embossed design to finish the card!

I hope you can join us at The Sweet Stop this week for this fun sketch!  Check the other Sugar Babies for some fabulous samples to inspire you.
