This week I am using a love image from Hope Jacare Doodles called Heart Wreath. I had intended to make it into a valentine card but found once it was coloured that it had a yearning to be a Christmas card. OMG, my 1^st Christmas card and it is only January!!

Anyhow, the image was coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers. There is a 2^nd decoupaged layer of hearts and these have been covered with Crystal Laquer so look like shiny buttons. I cut this into a circle and used Distress Ink and one of those bristle brushes to stipple around the edges and bring the colour into the image. I also used this to go distress around the edge of the scalloped card blank.

The paper and decorative strip are from a traditional paper pack from Papermania. I had some great buys from The Range as a lot of the Christmas stuff was half price last week so had a bit of a bargain spend from some Christmas money J

The embellishments inside the wreath are some little felt stockings and a gift which were from a pack of assorted Christmas theme embellishments from Poundland. Sentiment is from my stash
