Christmas Card Club. Challenge 9 Theme : Wreaths

Well, here we are again and another two weeks have gone by. Where has the year gone. Anyway, Today it is my turn to choose the theme and I'd like to see some Wreaths or anything else you may prefer.  For this challenge I have created three cards, yes three, all showing wreaths.  The first one was a 3D folder in gold then matted and layered with red and bottle green card. The sentiment was from Cardio and with the addition of a red seam binding bow my first card was complete. The second one was using a beautiful die from Sue Wilson cut in Gold and layered on to a wine background. the stamp was a freebie from a magazine that I coloured with Pro-markers and enhanced with a gold bow and some peel off corners.  My third card was done with Cardio poinsettia stamps, holly and cones and finished off with a silver organza ribbon and a few little stones to finish it off.  I do hope you all enjoyed my choice as much as I did making my cards. Looking forward to seeing what my other colleagues have done.  Lovely spring weather in Scotland at the moment and long may it continue too.  Enjoy your Sunday folks.   Hugs Rita xxx

Three very beautiful cards, Rita. I think they all are so lovely and each so different.
The first EF wreath is so stately in the gold embossed paper. The second card,,,my personal fave as I am now in love with that SW die) is stunning. The third one is so very pretty and bespoke with the wreath being made flower by flower!

You've created 3 just gorgeously beautiful wreath cards today, Rita. #1's gold is just so elegant - and I love how you've used the SW swirly die to create this lovely wreath on #2. The deep burgundy sets off the gold flourishes so well. The floral wreath in the center looks so pretty in this setting. Love the pink & green colors in the delicate wreath of #3, it looks so fresh. Glad you are enjoying some pleasant weather in your part of the world. Thanks for a fun challenge. I love wreaths too! TFS & Hugs
