Christmas Wreath?





Merry Monday #123 {Use a Wreath}


Hello, hope you had a nice weekend.  I was happy I had some time to make a card, for fun. This is heat embossed and painted with watercolors I only used two colors red and green. If you look closely you will see this is not a Christmas wreath at all, it's a fall wreath with pears, pumpkins and fall leaves.... I love this stamp so much I  had to make it Christmas. I love how it turned out. Fun to change things up a bit. 

My computer was down and I was gone most of the weekend , I did not get to play in PTI Stamp-a Fair at all. I have not even had a chance to look

Blessing to you!

  6. Dear Marybeth, spent Sunday afternoon in the Apple store because my Mac was sick! The weekend was not the best for me either! Managed to get through SAF on my husband's PC, but transferring pix were a nitemare!
    Anyway, love how you used a fall wreath and made it shine for Christmas! Beautiful!

  8. I would never had guessed it was a fall wreath and it is absolutely stunning in just the red and green...beautifully done Marybeth. And don't feel too bad about SAF...it was a busy weekend for us and I only just made a couple cards and got them entered at the last minute. I still have to make some time to go through and see what everyone else did...it's always fun to look and get inspiration from others! :0)

  10. Oh Gorgeous wreath! And who cares for which season this was meant to be, ha, ha. It's perfect for this occasion as well, good thinking!
    Sorry, I've missed out on a few blogposts of everyone, because of a craftshow and workshops I had to prepare, which was great fun to do.
    But I sure missed looking at all the gorgeous creations you've made, wow.
    Bye,
