Christmas Wreath

The last few days I've been playing with this beautiful stamp by Flourishes called Christmas Wreath, I've had this set for several years but I never used it.  Every year I'd pull it out and try stamping it then coloring it and it always looked ucky to me, I could never make it as pretty as I wanted or seen others do with it.  But then I saw Marybeth's used a nother wreath and it just looked like something I should try with this stamp I have... so I kepted it and want to share both Marybeth's version and mine.
So here's my try at it......

I colored one with a red bow and the other green...

All I had to do is use Versa Mark and Gold embossing and then just a little coloring... it was so easy this way.   I could not believe I was trying to make it into such a big thing.

Here's a closer look.............

and I kept the inside simple too, there was a small wreath in the set so I used that and then a saying from another Flourishes set called Winter berries.

The base card I used is NEW to me card stock that a Blogger that I watch daily uses and after talking with her about it I had to get some.... Go to The Spotted Chick and at the bottom of her post on the Nov. 10th you'll see:  ENVIRONMENT Desert Storm Card Stock - 8 1/2 x 11 in 100 lb Cover Smooth 100% Recycled, order it right from there!!!

Ho Ho Ho !!!!

This week I've been working on some Ho Ho Ho cards... made 12 all together, 4 from each sheet of pattern paper.  All the same layout but look but each has it's own look I think. So here we go.

This first pic is a close up so you can see how there made.

 

 

 This is the inside, I used half of the die cut from the front for the border on the inside.

 

this is the second one......

 

and here's the last one..... 

 

 

Even tho all are the same layout, I think they look different... Only used 2 stamps, the Ho Ho Ho is a CTMH called Santa's Greeting Holiday- M1028, and the inside is another CTMH set called Peace on Earth- D1243 an oldy but a goodie...

Let me know what you think I'd like to know!
