Wreaths for the CCC!

Hello Everyone, I hope you are all fine and keeping yourselves as safe as you can from this virus. It's a scary time at the moment.

It's time once again for the Christmas Card Club to show their cards and Lorraine has chosen this fortnight's theme which is Wreaths.
Here is what I've come up with;
I use a lovely wreath stamp from a Creative Stamping magazine, one of last year's and coloured with Copic markers. Added some sparkle pen and glossy accents to the bells and berries. a few gold coloured gems to finish. Gold mirror card ans some very old paper which I thought went very well.
A bit of recycling from a lovely card received last Christmas, I love the colours on this one and just added some gold mirror card and dotted paper and I didn't think it needed anything more.

Another recycled card from last year, that I cut with a stitched circle die and matted it on to red card, and used a kraft card base. There was already glitter on the little scene, added an already made sentiment and that was that.

Thank you so much Lorraine for a super challenge, I really enjoyed it, especially getting to use some old stash and a bit of recycling.

Do look out of my teammates cards, they always come up with stunners.

Thanks for you lovely comments on my last card, take care and see you soon,
