IB194 and IB194C Hello Friends

   We are back with a new challenge over @ Inspired By Card Challenges.  

This week we are playing with Wreaths, Welcoming Friends, Christmas, and the holidays. 

I chose IB194 and IB194C this week because I really need some more Christmas cards but couldn't resist the wheat wreath.

Here is the photo for IB194 Hello Friend

I loved all the different colors in the inspiration photo and was determined to use the Rustic Wreath Twigs Die from The Greetery and Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks to create it, and really love how the wreath came to life.  

Thankful Card

I chose to add a sentiment from Pretty Postmarks Stamp Set from The Greetery.  I loved the sweet sentiment for a Thanksgiving card.

The different colors of twigs pair so beautifully together against the Shiplap Die from the Greetery.

I added some buttons and a bow die from Papertrey Ink that I blended with Tim Holtz Oxide Ink: Weathered Wood  

My background panel is the Pinkfresh Diagonal Plaid Cover Plate

And here is the inspiration for IB194C

I was inspired by the wreath, colors and the white background.

Merry Card

To create the background panel, I stamped The Stamp Market's Fa La La Background Stamp and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

And don’t forget, there’s always the sketch
