Penny Black Simplicity – Magic of the Season

Today, I’m sharing a holiday card based on a design I used for a spring card which appeared on the Penny Black Simplicity site. While the spring card featured a butterfly, this interpretation showcases the wreath from 51-151 Whirl Wreath.

I cut the wreath from brushed gold cardstock and the ribbon from watercolor paper I colored with Distress Ink spray. The balls were punched with a hole punch from the same watercolor paper. The green background was stamped in gold pigment ink with the 40-382 Blips background stamp and cut with the 51-136 Stitched Edges die. I added the wreath to the panel with dimensional adhesive. I stamped one of the sentiments from 30-310 Believe onto a white card base, to which I adhered the green panel. While my card was created in traditional red and green, it would be easy to change this up with any number of non-traditional color combinations!
