Time for some mid-challenge inspiration at Festive Friday, where our current challenge is to include a wreath in your card.
For this simple card, I inked up a circle of dots (Papertrey Borders and Corners - Circles, I think) in Lucky Limeade and used my finger to take the ink off of 3 dots. Then I stamped this joy, that I think looks like a ribbon, nestling it in the space in my wreath. I then added tiny dots of Stickles between each green dot. You probably can't see it here - even in real life, you just get a little twinkle when you move the card. Minimal and graphic - just the way I like it.
Now that Halloween is over, the countdown's really on - the deadline for this challenge is next Wednesday and then we only have two more challenges for 2013. I hope you're playing along, and stacking up your Christmas cards!
Minimal and absolutely beautiful Ardyth!
ReplyDeleteArdyth - I love this! The graphic wreath with the sentiment is genius. I think I am going to go back to my card and tweak it a little by CASEing your sentiment idea. So clever!! Thanks for sharing and your cards always inspire me to be cleaner and look at my stamps a different way!
ReplyDeleteOh. My. Gosh. Ardyth, I adore this card!!! It's brilliant and I am SOOOOO stealing the idea. Never ever would have come up with this myself. You're a genius!!!!

ReplyDeleteAbsolute gorgeousness! Clean & simple and CLEVER! Love the subtle twinkle of the stickles and how you snuggled the sentiment into the circle of dots!
ReplyDeletePerfectly Ardyth-esque, Ardyth, and completely clever ... love that nestling 'joy'ful ribbon and I see the glint of the stickles ... subtle and stunning! Anita :)
ReplyDeletePerfectly CAS. Sweet little wreath and the most perfect sentiment; it doesn't overwhelm the wreath. And framed in that lovely red. Great card. Love this. Have a great weekend. Bev
