Welcome
Thank you for taking the time to visit -
I will not be 'around' the internet for the next week or so as we are moving next weekend, and there is still a lot to be done, as well as a farewell and three Christmas 'Events'...
This card is for the start of the new, December Challenge at We Love Stamping,
where the challenge is to use Winter flowers or foliage.

There is also some other information to share:
A change to selecting Guest Designers as often those selected by the DT do not make contact, so in future anyone interested in being considered for a GDT spot should add GD against their name when entering. A Guest Designer will be selected from those entries and the Design Team will of course still select their Top 3.
I started by brushing the stencil (discontinued) with the ink that was on my brush
I then stamped the wreath (a magazine freebie) three times, moving it slightly between stamping -
I used Memento inks in Cottage Ivy, Bamboo Leaves and New Sprout
The ornaments were stamped on a snippet of card in the Cottage Ivy ink, painted with Twinkling H2O paints and trimmed out, before I coated them with Glossy Accents.
These I placed in various spots on the wreath and stencilled swirl.
The sentiment was from another freebie set, and stamped in Cottage Ivy
I ran the edge of the panel over the dark green ink pad to give definition, and did likewise on the insert.
The insert was stamped with the wreath in Bamboo Leaves, and then I painted with gold and red paint - and you can see why I stamp, don't draw my images :)
The envelope was similarly stamped and painted, but using all three inks for the wreath.
A few clear rhinestones finished the card.
The prizes this month are from AALL & Create:
