Papertrey Ink September Blog Hop


It's the 25th of the month, which means that I'm playing along
with the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop, where this month's challenge is this photo:


Isn't it fabulous?
It makes me want to paint my front door black 
and make a wreath like this -- so very perfect for fall!

I decided to use Twig Wreath stamp set & dies -- I know: surprise, surprise!
Here's my card:


I started by diecutting the Twig Wreath die from true black 
and classic kraft cardstock.
I stamped the sentiment (from Choose Joy) in versa mark and heat embossed it in white.
I stamped the wreath onto my kraft diecut, as well as onto my white panel.
I stamped the stamps from Twig Wreath onto my white panel and 
onto a few diecuts.
A trio of buttons and some classic kraft button twine finish it off.


Thanks for looking!

  18. Brings to mind a quote, whose I do not remember, which applies to the inspiration and your card:
    "A thing of beauty is a joy forever." Have a wonderful weekend, Leigh, and everyone else!
