It's Minty Wreath Monday!

Good Monday morning!! Ok, so the Pumpkin Festival was AWESOME but I decided to pass on the elephant ear and go for the Pumpkin Ice Cream in a waffle cone.... Ooooooooh it was incredible!!!! *sigh* Ok, don't tell me how many calories there are in one, I don't want to know. {he-he}

I'm still working away on my Christmas cards - this is #23 if anyone is keeping track. Almost half way there!!! Woo-hoo!! This is Minty Wreath from Stamping Bella. I must say, I had all these ideas in my head for this card's design but when I tried them, they ended up in the garbage.... This is like the third image I colored!! I wanted to use some Crystal Effects to look like candywrappers but it just didn't look right. Then I tried adding white to the candy but that didn't look right either, so this was the third try and I decided to leave it as is. I stamped the image directly onto this DP from Provo Craft and matted it with a coordinating paper from the same collection. I used my Martha Stewart border punch along the bottom edge of two of the layers and used some dimensionals in between for a little 3D effect. I finished by adding some antique brads and some SU taffeta ribbon. Pretty SUH-WEET huh? Get it, minty - sweet??? {he-he} Ok-ok, have a great day!!!
