Freshly Made Sketches #711

 I pulled out an older product to make a card for Freshly Made Sketches.


The Joy Wreath from Catherine Pooler was cut from Desert Storm and colored with Polychromos pencils.  One hint: leave the die in the cardstock to color.  I thought it looked rather rustic so I followed the through with that by adding it to some Altenew Spicy Yogurt cardstock that was lightly inked around the edges with Frayed Burlap DI.  The little bow is from Papertrey Ink and the sentiment die is from the wreath set.

I have more than enough Christmas cards made but it's always good to get a head start on next year.  Now I just have to do the inside sentiments and print the labels.  My goal is December 1.

Your wreath is the perfect element for that circular design, and definitely time-appropriate! It's very pretty and looks great on the vanilla cs, and definitely vintage.

It might be old, but this classic little wreath will never go out of style! Terrific CAS card, Bobby!
