Colourful Wreaths - all stamped and punched!!

Jane Gills stamping workshop used all of her Nordic influenced clear stamps - Doves and Reindeers - (all at £4.05 at Japonica) - both Doves have a greeting with them too- Seasons Greetings and Peace on Earth -Bargain!

We used Punched circles -both 3" and 3 1/2" and scallop circles too to create a background for the wreaths.  Colours were chosen from assorted packs of textured card (24 sheets for £3.99).  Just add 3 little spotty organza bows and a few 10mm Glitter Domes - Voila!

ALL available at JAPONICA.

 All images were stamped and embossed in black.  Very bright and vibrant.

 

 The above images were all stamped in gold - warm and tropical maybe?

 

The foreground images were all stamped in white and the background in silver - see how the white embossed images really stand out!!  Lovely crisp and frosty colours !

*I think you could create these for many occasions - New baby, Weddings, Birthdays etc....

 

MANY THANKS TO JANE GILL for bringing us her beautiful ideas -we hope to see  you in 2014.

Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas Tree how lovely....
