Run Up To Christmas 2023 Week 3

 

 

Hello Friends and welcome to the #runuptochristmashop2023 hosted by @love_smile_and_craft and @kellys.craft. We are going to make a card each week for 12 weeks until Christmas. This week's theme is "Christmas Wreath" and a good thing too.  That meant I would finally finish coloring this wreath card I started 5yrs ago (thanks to a variety of health/migraine issues) from Verve Stamps I received as a RAK from a friend.  

 

The wreath is stamped in Tim Holtz pine needles distress ink and colored using both prismacolor and copic markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I blended stormy sky and tumbled glass distress inks around it before layering and adding brads.  Taking my Tonic distresser tool I ran it along the edges of the image panel before setting aside.  My card base is stamped using a retired Stampin Up holly jumbo wheel and garden green ink.  I then added the image panel using pop up glue dots before adding a few dots of crystal ice stickles to highlight parts of the image and a clear 3D glaze pen to highlight the berries.
