Sketchy Pure Branch

I have another couple of Christmas cards to share today...made using more new Woodware stamps, this time from the 'Sketchy Pure Branch' set. I stamped the branch on to watercolour paper using Distress Inks (Evergreen Bough, Pine Needles, Forest Moss & Iced Spruce) to make a wreath shapes, then inked around the edges of the panels using 'Old Paper' and 'Pumice Stone' Distress Inks. I stamped a sentiment from another Woodware set ('Sketchy Pine Cones') on to snippets of watercolour paper using Versamark Ink, then heat embossed them in metallic gold. I cut them into circles using one of my Nesties, then layered them on to more circles cut from snippets of red and gold card, then added them to the centres of the wreaths.

Challenges for these cards:

• Allsorts - Going Round in Circles
• Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas - Anything Christmas Goes
• Cut It Up - Old School (My trusty Spellbinders Nesties!)
• Simon Says Stamp (Wednesdays) - Anything Goes
