CHRISTMAS KICKSTART CHALLENGE

Hi Everyone

I hope you are all keeping well and finding things to keep you occupied whilst at home.  I certainly haven't run out of jobs and crafty goodies to keep me amused.

I would be more than happy to spend much more time like this .. .. especially if it means all this loss of life would stop.  I really can't get my head around the numbers anymore.  

Certainly the weather here will have helped with the lock-down scenario we are under at the moment here in the UK.   It has been super windy, interspersed with rain and very minimal sunny spells.  So a typical English bank holiday weekend I guess LOL!!

Anyway, after having my Christmas goodies out yesterday I decided to tackle Christmas card number 3 for May and this is my offering:




This used:

Image:  Card-io Clear Stamp Set:  Oriental Blossom (the branch in the set is repeat stamped to create a wreath)
Sentiment:  LOTV:  Digital Christmas Sentiment Tags
Backing Paper:  My Lovely Studio "Gingham"
Nail Heads
Ribbon
My Trusty Sewing Machine

This is for taking over to Jo's Christmas Kickstart Challenge where this month's theme is "wreathed in Christmas smiles" .. .. as in show a wreath on your creation.

There is still time to play along if you are in the mood for Christmas creations.

Catch you again tomorrow .. .. if all goes to plan.

    Love your wreath Jules and those pin heads look very dimensional and make great baubles! An unusual combination of cards that work so well together. Hugs xx

    A super Christmas card Jules, you have created a beautiful wreath.
    It is getting warmer here, the sun is shining and the wind is starting to drop thank goodness, the boy's are out with the dog at the moment - I'm having a lazy morning.
    Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

    Looks great!
    The black and white gingham is really popular here too. I am introducing it into my Christmas decor. I am slowly creating new ornaments and baubles etc using this black and white gingham theme .

    Jules, this wreath card is simply beautiful, I love all the elements - your stamped twiggy wreath with the 'nail' ornaments, and the lovely layers topped with the glorious bow and tag... thanks so much for sharing with Christmas Kickstart, Robyn
