Hi everyone, today I would like to share a quick traditional Christmas card. As I mentioned I previous post I very recently acquired a couple of new sets of Craft Addictions UK dies - one of them is the wavy double stitch squares, which I absolutely adore and think is going to be incredibly useful. I die cut one out to have a look at, and immediately thought of making a CAS holly wreath - here it is.
I die cut my wavy stitched square, and created a circle by softly blending Pine Elements ink around a circle mask. I then stamped Lavinia holly to make a wreath, interspersed with 2nd generation Mini Holly and then added Mini berries. I coloured the berries with red Signo pen topped with red Sakura Stardust pen, then added fine white Posca highlights to the leaves. I stamped a Uniko sentiment inside the wreath, then matted the finished panel onto a 6” square card blank - job done!
OStamps: Lavinia Holly, Mini Holly, Mini Berries; Uniko Christmas Wishes;
Media: Lavinia Elements ink (Pine); Versafine Clair (Rainforest, Strawberry, Nocturne); Signo pen (red); Sakura Stardust pen (red); Posca pen (white);
Tools: Craft Addictions UK Wavy Double Stitch Square dies; Lavinia acetate circle mask.

A lovely stamped wreath Pauline, and that's another lovely die cut frames.
Thanks for sharing at Try it on Tuesday. Avril xx
I do love to see a traditional wreath for Christmas and this one is made extra special by being on your new stitched detail die cut background. A handy die set to have
Love how you made up the wreath with all the little stamps and a great sentiment font! And also loving the stitched frame die. I have a similar set called "wonky stitches" but mine is for rectangular cards. It's been a while since I used it but may have to do so soon as I love the look!
