Merry Monday #296

One of my favorite challenges is closing down.  Yes, this is the last hurrah for Merry Monday.  I've played along with them almost every week for as long as I can remember and so I quickly made a card for the final challenge.
Rustic is my thing, at least in decorating, and it used to be in my card making early on.
Thanks to a reminder from Nancy, I brought out an old technique. I embossed some kraft-core cardstock with a woodgrain folder and then sanded it down.  The wreath is from WPlus9, stamped in three colors on green and then heat embossed.  The 'joy' from CPD is cut twice in red and once in gold and stacked.

I'm sad to see you go, Merry Monday.  How will I ever get my Christmas cards done?

This is such a great card Bobby! Glad I could help remind you about the sanding technique, it always adds such great texture!
