Garlands, Wreaths and Christmas Flowers at Stamping Sensations

 



It's time for a new challenge at Stamping Sensations and this month we'd like to see either Garlands, Wreaths and/or Christmas Flowers, so lots of scope and a chance to get ahead with the Christmas cards.
We've got Chocolate Baroque as our sponsors this month and they are offering this fabulous stamp plate as a prize.


I've used a very old Lili of the Valley stamp for my card,  I also stamped extra baubles with gold and heat embossed before adding colour with Twinkling H2O's, adding these with 3D foam pads.  I then matted onto some red mirri card, but this proved to be a nightmare to photograph! and the grey skies we've had didn't help no matter how hard I tried!!  Getting the baubles to sparkle only resulted in a pink card!




The rest of the DT have some fabulous inspiration for you, so please pop over to the main blog, where you will also find all the challenge details.

A beautifully traditional feel to this one Avril and I can but imagine the lovely sparkle from the Twinkling H2O's along with gold embossing.

Simply gorgeous, Avril! Love it so much. Garlands are hard to stamp, so congrats on a job well done, yours looks so dimensional and tactile. XOX
