Red & Green WLSC

  Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for

We Love Stamping.  

This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme chosen by Anesha  

Red & Green

 

I love red and green for Christmas, so traditional. With things as they were for me at the time of making this month's cards, all before hubby's passing. I used my subscription magazine again for inspiration by Nicky Gilbert. 

 

I stamped the wreath, then coloured it with DI's. I tried some white pens for the berries, but they didn't give the impact I wanted, so I used tiny pearls. Next, I stamped the sentiment and cut it at an angle.

 

I then went looking for red and green paper, none suitable in my paper pads, so I went into my files and found this red and green tartan, which I felt was perfect, I hope you agree. I printed it and layered it onto green card, the wreath was placed onto that and all placed onto the base card. It is pure luck the reds match with the inks and printing.
