Merry Monday #250

Rustic is right up my alley so of course I had to make a card for Merry Monday.
The wood is a background stamp from Altenew that I stamped on watercolor paper in both Gathered Twigs and Black Soot Distress Inks, brushing with water in between.  The wreath from WPlus9 is stamped in four layers with a little watering to give it a softer look, except for the red embossed berries.  It took a while to come up with a way to do a sentiment. I was going to hang another piece of wood from the bow with a stamped sentiment but that didn't feel quite right. Enter the TH word dies. Both the word and bow are tripled embossed in Liquid Platinum.  Now that I'm looking at it I wish I'd done a burlap bow of some kind but it would have to be tiny burlap, or maybe jute.  Well, too late now.  The challenge is closing soon and I don't have time for a redo.  Maybe it will be a 'do another'. ;)

Thanks for dropping by.  I hope your weekend is off to a good start.
