Day 9 | Holiday card series 2017 ft So Suzy stamps

Hello there, crafty friends!

Day 9 of my Holiday card series and the more I do the more I want to do)) Feel like a hamster in wheel :)

Today's card is with a traditional Christmas wreath. We have no such tradition in Russia it's more of Europe and US custom. I know that wreath and circle is a symbol of life and so on but In Russia wreaths are accosiated with funerals. They are put to the grave. And did my best to get rid of that accosiation in my mind as Christmas wreaths are just stunning and they give such a festive look to the doors or any other place.

I used:

Wreath So Suzy stamp

Peace by Terri So Suzy stamp

Bow Sm So Suzy stamp

Some steps:

First I stamped the Wreath with SSS Green Apple ink to have a guide for my further work with alcohol Chameleon pens.

I drew the wreath on top of a stamped one with my Chameleon pens and then heat embossed the same image in gold on top, swiping off the areas with berries. I used the stanps as tinsel to my wreath.

For the sentiment I used Peace by Terri stamp on a piece of vellum. First I stamped it with Jet Black Archoval ink and then heat embossed in clear. 

For the berries  I used red enamel dots embellishments. I also heat embosssed my Bow Sm So Suzy stamp and colored it in with Chameleon pens.

Thank you so much for stopping by!
