Hi, crafty friends. It might seem early to be making holiday cards this time of year, but Christmas is only 11 months away. Just sayin’. I love creating holiday cards all year, and this Got the Wreath image from Mo’s Digital Pencil is one I’ve used plenty of times in the past, so I felt I had to come up with color palette I hadn’t previously used on this image.

I colored the image with Copics, then used a die from the Blueprints 27 die set from My Favorite Things to give the panel a nice border around the edge. I added a few layers of cardstock scraps behind the panel for strength and dimension. I created a top fold card base from Lavender Moon cardstock from Papertrey Ink and ink blended from the bottom using Autumn Rose ink, also from Papertrey Ink. This gave my card base a nice ombre effect.

I used the Big Happy Holidays die from Mama Elephant to die cut four layers from Lavender Moon cardstock. I used the same ink blending trick for the top layer that I used for the card base, ink blending it before I die cut and stacked all four together for a nice, dimensional sentiment. To finish off the card I added a few die cut snowflakes. I used the Snowflake Confetti Fancy die from Hero Arts and CR1335 from Marianne Design to create my snowflakes, and my card was complete.

I always go overboard when I color snow, even though there was very little of it this time.
