Holiday @ATSM

G'd day, good evening, good afternoon and good night!
Well it's time for one of my scheduled posts for the latest challenge over at Addicted to Stamps and More. This week is our challenge theme of -

HOLIDAY

So we would like to see anything to do with a holiday or the holiday season. Here is my 'Holiday' card, I went with a Christmas theme. I know 2 this week but at least they are now in the stash come December.


I was influenced by the latest challenge at Less is More where it is their colour challenge, using colours opposite each other on the spectrum, so what more seasonal than traditional RED and GREEN. I'd wanted to have a go at making a wreath like this for a while so it was just the right time to have a go. Not sure if my way is the best, but I die cut a ring of card which I coloured with Copic before adding lots of overlapping punched foliage. I added a small red bow and some tiny red diamonte to finish. It looks a little large for the door I made using a cut down Spellbinders window die cut and a rectangle of card embossed with a score board across the top and sides. The sentiment strip acts as a step. I used a Tim Holtz brick ef to create a little texture to the walls.

OK, that's more or less it, pop over to the main blog and check out the rest of the DTs inspiration and join in.
This week we are sponsored by Bugaboo stamps who are offering 7 digis to the winner.

I would like to join in at -
