Wrap it Up

Hello, everyone!  It's time for the mid-month reminder for the challenge from the Creative Moments Challenge blog.  The theme is: Wrap it Up.  I am using an image from our fabulous sponsor: Mirtillamente.

 Here is my card:

My ribbon is my "Wrap It Up" element.  My sentiment is from Mirtillamente; I didn't feel like coloring an image and I thought the font on this was really beautiful!  So, I printed it out nice and large, not quite sure what I was going to do with it.  As I was looking for a circle/oval die I discovered this wreath die and the card grew from there.  I found a circle die that matched the interior of the wreath die and used it to die cut the sentiment.  Then I die cut two of the wreath shapes out of a pine green card stock.  Then I chose a plaid patterned paper pack that had some of that same green in it and pieced several strips together to form the background.  I adhered it to a green base and adhered the sentiment circle to the background, then I layered the wreath die cuts together and adhered them around the sentiment.  I added the bits of gold sparkle ribbon and then used red enamel dots to create "berries".

You have all month to play along.  So, get inky and link up your creation; I can't wait to see what you create!

Supplies:

Stamps: Mirtillamente "Mrs. Peters 2-2" digi sentiment
