Sparkling Snowflakes, One of Kind, Sophisticated Sled, Encircled in Nature, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

 

Hello and welcome to my blog. I just couldn't leave yesterday's card alone. I obsessed about it all day and knew I just had to dress it up. What do you think? Please read on to see what I added to dress the card up.

I cut two boughs from the "Sophisticated Sled" bundle. I used Old Olive and Garden Green card stock. I cut the Old Olive piece in half. I set them aside.

Then I cut out 3 pairs of the thin branches using Old Olive card stock. They came from the "Encircled in Nature" bundle. 

And the bow is from the "Sophisticated Sled" bundle. I stamped the image using black Memento ink and I fussy cut the bow from the image. I colored the bow using my light Real Red Blends Pen and then added low lights using the dark pen. I also colored some rhinestones using the dark pen. I set them aside to dry.

I picked a spot where I wanted the greenery to start. If you view the circle as a clock it was be at the 11. I added some glue and set three of the thinner Old Olive pieces in place. The ones on the upper part were cut back about 1" or they would hang well beyond the card size.

The Garden Green piece was set on top of the pieces just added and then the two pieces of Old Olive boughs were added. I gave them a minute to set up and then I glued on the bow.

Clear rhinestones were added to the snowflakes and the red rhinestones were added to the greenery.

Now didn't that dress up the snowflake wreath? I like this card a whole lot more now!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see the improvement to the Christmas card,
