CAS Christmas Card Challenge- Wreath

Hi Everyone, it's time for CAS Christmas Card Challenge. Our host this month is Linda and she wants us to create our Christmas cards with a wreath, and also please say hi to our Guest Designer this month Sue of Sue's Cards.


Just a reminder to follow the rules if you want to have the chance of being picked as one of the top entries 😃



For my card I drew a circle and then used a couple of Lavinia stamp to make the wreath. I kept the colour palate simple only using dark brown and red. the edge of the card was finished with an off cut of some card that had gilding flakes stuck to Sookwang tape.


I hope you come and join us with the challenge and top up your stash of Christmas cards.

Your branches and pinecones make an absolutely BEAUTIFUL wreath Christine, and I love, LOVE the gilded flakes at the bottom of the card for a touch of shine to this lovely card. :0)

I think this is so elegant and pretty in tones of brown and red Christine, and I love the snowy pinecones and branches, and the added berries really pop..that thin strip of tape covered in gilding flakes finishes it beautifully. x

Such a beautiful pinecone and berry wreath, Christine! This card will definitely inspire people who don't have a wreath stamp or a die to create a wreath card. Love the color combo (brown and red), and the gilding flake border!

I love the pinecone wreath you made, Christine. It is lovely. I had to laugh when you mentioned topping up our Christmas stash. When I get a wreath card made it will BE my Christmas stash so far.

I love how you've stamped the wreath and the pop of gilding from the flakes along the edge is fabulous. Such a beautiful Christmas wreath card Christine x.

Wow..I am impressed with how perfectly you stamped your pinecone and berries image around your drawn circle. I would never have guessed that you did not use a stamped wreath for your beautiful Christmas card. Love the shiny thin border and stamped sentiment too. TFS Love and Hugs...Nancy

This wreath is really beautiful and the addition of red berries will make the image livelier. The gilding strip gives the card a rich appearance. A wonderful inspiration card
