It's that time again - a new challenge over at Christmas at Sweet Stampin'. As ever, we have our theme of Anything Goes but there is an optional (and easy) additional theme this month: Use Stamping.
Here's my DT make:
I actually made my own template (à la Gina K Designs) for the wreath. It was a bit fiddly but once laminated it was sturdy enough, held my card in the Misti and above all worked as I turned the card to stamp the images repeatedly in a circle. I've since treated myself to the Gina K template as I got hooked on stamping this design - it's great for using those tiny accent stamps that I tend to ignore.
The die cut sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp and was cut in Schoolhouse Red cardstock. I tried to keep the look fairly simple so just added some glossy accents and tiny clear droplets to add a bit more interest.
I hope you can play along with us this month.You can check out our challenge details and the CaSSettes' inspiration projects here.

LOL That's funny. I was thinking about making my own template too. I'll probably break down and buy the real deal too. Your wreath turned out beautifully. I like the touches of sparkle that you added.
