JustRite 12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hop #2

Welcome to JustRite Stampers’ newest Wednesday feature, 12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hops #2! Every Wednesday up until Thanksgiving some of your favorite designers will be joining some of the JustRite design team for a series of Christmas blog hops, showcasing JustRite’s entire Christmas Collection of stamps! This week, it’s the Stamper’s Dream design team! So mark your calendars for Wednesdays at 9am Central for great Christmas gift, card & project ideas, starting at the JustRite Inspiration blog!


For my card today, I chose to work the inviting wreath image from JB-09775 From Our House. Next, I pulled out a couple of my favorites -- a great sketch (Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch #85) and new pretty paper (from Basic Grey Jovial). I stamped the wreath 3 times and colored it with Copic markers and Spica Glitter pens. I also stamped and colored the border, cut it out like a frame and popped it on top of the center image (the center image is double popped for more dimension). I added a couple of layers of holly punched edges and some stitching.

Here's a detail shot:

Note: When I went back to link to Karen's challenge, I noticed that she is having a double challenge this week. The extra challenge is to create a birthday card for Operation Write Home (for men and women serving in the armed forces).
