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!
