Hope you have all had a good Monday. Work as usual for me but the day went quickly so I can't complain.
Spent a bit of time tonight putting together another christmas card. This one is another simple one but a bit different. See what you think.
I used a super stamp set from Woodware called Bubble Wreath. I stamped out the wreath which is basically just lots of different size circles. The little fern leaf stamp was also part of the set and I randomly stamped leaves. Then came the fun part. I covered all the little circles by using a combination of buttons, pearls, gems and stickles.
The rest of the card I kept quite simple in order to keep the focus on the wreath.
I really liked the way it came out that I decided to make a few more.
As I said, quite quick to do. So that's another four christmas cards done.
