My first Christmas card

I am delighted to see caschristmascardchallenge back again. It gives me an incentive to get busy and start making cards for Christmas. This card used an unidentified wreath die to comply with Linda's choice this month of using a wreath on your card. I cut it from c/s and added it to a card panel. The I stamped the sentiment in the center. It was crooked so I stamped the sentiment again and cut it out with a circle die, then glued it in the center to fix it. A few pearls were added.

If you want to impress me with your new car - it better be a food truck.









Be kind to one another.

Beautiful wreath Brenda, I love the classic red and white for Christmas. Don't you just hate it when the stamp's not quite straight. But great save we would never have know your sentiment on the circle wasn't intentional ♥Thanks for joining us at CAS Christmas

Great Christmas wreath design! I have quite a few left over from last year! But I am sure I will make a few more.

Darnell said...

You and your crookediness, Brenda! Had to chuckle at that and your "Amen" food truck joke! But, seriously, your wreath card is CASlicious and beautiful ~ love the pearl punctuation to add interest and elegance! Hugs, Darnell

This is such a pretty wreath and the pearls decorate it beautifully, Brenda! I realized with my wreath card that stamping on a die cut circle can't go wrong with crooked stamping. What a relief!
