Christmas Wreath

The lovely Stephanie launched her own range of acrylic stamps on Friday, Clearly Besotted Stamps, and I couldn't resist a couple of sets.  Ordered them Friday afternoon and they were here the next day - amazing service, and the stamps are fabulous, really good quality.

So I had to have a play today - and I have made a couple of CAS Christmas cards ...
 
I love the wreath - it comes in 3 patterns and you stamp the bow separately, so colour combinations galore!!!  I simply matted it up and then added pearls and twine.  The sentiments are from the same stamp set.

Supplies
Colouring medium: SU ink pads (garden green, red riding hood)
 Papers: SU cardstock
Embellishments: pearls and twine from stash
Tools: nestability squares
