Pretty Pink Posh - Holiday Wreath

Hello there,

I'm thrilled to be back with this Christmas card showcasing the Holiday Wreath Builder die set from the Pretty Pink Posh October 2024 Release. As most of the time, I shopped my entire stash to pick dies from other sets to create this beautiful wreath, and as always you will find a detailed list down below.

I started off by creating the background on a large Stitched Torn Rectangle kraft panel that I colored using the Layered Winter Wreath stencils. Using the three stencils one after the other, I first created a base using white pigment ink, and then I added colors using the same stencils along with candied apple, rustic wilderness, vintage photo and ground espresso oxide inks. I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add splatters all over the panel, I did the same with ground espresso oxide ink, and then set my panel aside to dry.

Next I die cut all the components of my wreath using Holiday Wreath Builder dies, as well as dies from other sets.

Here is a detailed list of the die sets I used: • Holiday Wreath Builder - ring, leaves, branches, berries, bow • Fall Mug Additions & Fall Cornucopia - poinsettias • Big Christmas Cupcake - snowflake, poinsettia center pieces, heart • Winter Foliage - pine cones.

I added a little bit of shadows to my die-cut pieces using oxide inks. I also white heat embossed "Merry & Bright" from Winter Greetings on dark brown cardstock, cut it using the matching die, and then assembled everything on my panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I first attached the ring and the greeting, and then all the bits and pieces directly on the ring. I attached my panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches red polka dot panel and then to a card base, I glued a Candy Cane Lane snowflake in the center of the snowflake, and finished my card with touches of white grit paste on the wreath element for a nice frosty effect.
