Watercolor wreath

 When I saw the watercolor challenge over at Double D Challenge Blog I just had to join in.  I won this wreath die from one of their challenges last year and I have wanted to use it ever since getting it but it never fit with any of the challenges in my group. So I decided to use it today.

I used my spectrum noir Aqua pens by applying the pen to my work surface and then adding a little water and painting it onto the watercolor card stock. I used a very light pattern paper behind so that the coloring would stand out and added a stamped sentiment to the inside circle.

• Plaid - Snowflake Red papers
• Diamond Press - Vintage Christmas sentiment stamp

For my next card I decided to cut it twice using a pattern paper for the back and gold cardstock for the front.

• Scrapbook.com - Cozy Wreath die cut from pattern paper and gold cardstock
• BoBunny - Father Christmas papers for bottom wreath
• Tim Holtz - gold cardstock for top wreath
• Honeybee - Holiday Cheer paper for background
• ODBD - Poinsettia wreath stamp set for sentiment

Thanks for taking the time to stop by today,
