A Magical Christmas


I fancied creating a card using Card-io stamps to make a wreath and then stamping a sentiment in the middle.  Of course I should have stamped the sentiment first but luckily this old Docrafts stamp fitted perfectly.  

When I create my wreath I start with a with a piece of card which I diecut and attached postits to the back.  I lay this one, stamp around it, lift it off and then build up the wreath with various stamps.

Although it may look black the backing card is actually purple to match the poinsettias.

We stayed at a Premier Inn in Ipswich last night as we went to see Tony Blackburn's sounds of the sixties show which was brilliant so will be on our way home this morning after stopping at a farm shop for breakfast and shopping.

What a fantastic card - Wendy was at Stamperama Harrogate a couple of weeks ago - she's looking great. I got some of the glitter she uses (glamourdust) as it is so pretty. When I first started crafting I used the Tapestry stamps/pegs and then Wendy juat transformed it all. I love her stamps.
I told my husband that you went to see Tony Blackburn - he listens to him every Saturday - he just wants to know if you enjoyed it please!
Love
