I splurged and bought the bountiful leaves bundle from The Ton last week and have had such fun playing with it - you'll be seeing leaves and more leaves in the future!
I used almost all the leaves to make my wreath. They are all stamped and gold embossed and then watercolored with my Zigs. The berry branches were watercolored with Kuretake Gamsai gold metallic and the sentiment embossed in Hero Arts gold. Dry embossed the stitched circle for added texture.
RetroRubber has a tic-tac-toe challenge this week and I used the line across the top - watercolor, circle, and die cut. The sentiment is from a retired Hero Arts set called "peaceful poinsettia" (guessing 2016). I am also entering my card at CAS Christmas - winter berries, and Christmas Kickstart - wreath.
Thanks for visiting today.
