Spellbinders "Wreath DCS-011" Christmas Card



I've been coughing the past couple of days and sadly have tested positive for Covid!  To be honest at this moment I could cry.  I have made so many plans for Christmas, it will be the first time we will have spent Christmas with the Grandchildren and it was to be at our house too.  I'm really not sure if they'll be coming or not.  It all hangs in the balance. 

I have attempted to occupy my mind by making a card.  I've used the Spellbinders "Wreath DCS-011" cling stamp, stamped in a fade out ink and coloured with Derwent Inktense Water Colour Pencils, applied with a brush.  I've also used a 2B pencil for extra detail.

The sentiment is part of a Stampin' Up stamp set called "Winter Memories" and is stamped in two shades of Versafine Clair "Tulip Red" and then "Chianti" ink, die cut into a banner and adhered to the card using foam pads.

Finally, I added splatters to replicate snow, using Dr Ph. Martins Bleed Proof white paint and a fan shaped brush.

  3. This is a beautiful wreath and love the colouring Sam. I'm so sorry to hear to have Covid and to have it so near to Christmas with all you have planned, but hopefully you will be well enough to go ahead, at least with some of it. x
