Hi everyone,
It's time for a reminder card for Christine's Foliage and Berries challenge for CAS Christmas.
I received die-cuts of a wreath and a sentiment from a sweet friend, and they were perfect for this month's challenge!
Here's my card:
[How I made the card]
1. Watercolored the wreath and the sentiment, Joy.
2. Die-cut a circle 4 times, stacked up the pieces, and glued the wreath and the sentiment onto the stacked circles for dimension.
3. Hot foiled the frame on a white front panel.
4. Embossed a brick pattern on a piece of white card stock and glued it inside the foiled frame.
5. Attached the wreath to the embossed panel.
6. Glued the whole front panel to the card base.
7. Brushed Wink of Stella over the wreath and the sentiment to add a little sparkle to them.
You have until May 24th. Looking forward to seeing your card in the gallery!
Thanks for visiting me today.
I really love this card, Hideko! Beautiful watercoloring on the wreath and I love how you added sparkle to the leaves and berries! Love the gold frame and all the texture on your background, too ~ xx
ReplyDeleteHideko your wreath is so beautiful, I love all the shades of green in the foliage ♥
ReplyDeleteLove the wreath against the brick background! It's a perfect wreath for the challenge - beautiful shades of green on the foliage.
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful CAS design and love your watercolored die cut wreath and sentiment. Adding your dry embossed brick background and narrow die cut frames really pulled all your design together, my friend. Your foiling is so beautiful too. Gorgeous mixed media designs and TFS all your steps, Hideko. Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect card for this challenge Hideko! Your water colored wreath is SO pretty, and I'm loving the brick background and foiled frame too...lovely, lovely card my friend! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely embossed white brick background for your beautifully inked wreath Hideko and pretty gold foil framing too!
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly the wreath I would want to hang on my own painted brick wall - if I was lucky enough to have one, that is!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, my friend - love the water-y colors, and the bit of sparkle was the perfect finishing touch! JOY indeed!

This is a gorgeous design, Hideko. I LOVE your gold foided frame with the embossed brick on the inside. Such beautiful shine and texture. Lovely watercolouring of your wreath (aren't crafting friends the best at sharing??!!). The gold Joy is the perfect sentiment to sit inside the wreath. Great work, my sweet friend! xx
ReplyDeleteYou colored this wreath so beautifully, Hideko! I love how you've placed it on the stacked circles and fit the embossed brick inside that gorgeous gold frame! A beautiful Christmas card, my friend!
ReplyDeleteIt's absolute perfection from the foiling to the brick work to the wreath... I LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteLove your brick background to enhance your pretty wreath, Hideko. So lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty water colouring of the wonderful wreath. Great texture from the dry embossing and loving that gold foiled frame Hideko x. Such a fresh and beautiful card x.
ReplyDeleteHideko, I have this stamp and die and I love the new way you used it and with that stunning brick background it really adds so much to the card!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is gorgeous, Hideko. Beautiful watercoloring. Amazing dimension and texture. Love the embossed brick wall and the foiled frame. This may push me to bite the shipping cost to Canada bullet, and actually buy the foiling machine!
ReplyDeleteLove how you've mounted the wreath on the raised circles Hideko, so effective along with the brick embossing, gorgeous watercolouring too, Cathy x
