Beccy's Place runs a month of Holiday Cards challenge throughout November. Most days are a prompt with the letter of the alphabet but as there are only 26 then we get a random prompt too.
The prompt for Day 26 is W - My card is W for Wreath
We are almost at the end of November I am so blooming proud of myself as I somehow managing to stay not too far behind the challenges. Some of that is down to using pre-coloured digital images. Some of that is due to these diamond painting stickers that I have already done the sticky stuff earlier in the year.
I have however made every single card along the way though which has been a challenge in itself when juggling 2 jobs.
I do love making Christmas cards the best of all though and was so very sad last year when I was just too busy for so long and I didn't get to craft and enjoy the run up to Christmas. If I am being honest last Christmas wss just too much hassle for me and I was exhausted. I very nearly didn't put my tree up!
Anyhoo, back to this card. The wreath is another of the lovely diamond painting stickers. It is one if the largest as this card is 8" so it pretty much needs nothing else. I trimmed the sticker closer to the design by fussy cutting all the way round inside and outside. Even though it is a clear sticker I didn't want to see a big border around the design when added to patterned paper.
This paper has a subtle layer of green glitter embedded into the snowflakes in the background. I was tempted to put a gem in the centre of each one but reflected upon it and decided that would detract from the wreath and it was probably busy enough without it.
The sentiment in the middle has been recycled from a card and mounted onto a scrap of gold glitter card used in a previous project.

I’m so glad you have been able to enjoy the lead up to Christmas this year Mandy, although working two jobs still sounds hectic! It was a great idea to work on the diamond paintings earlier in the year so you had them ready to go for your holiday cards. This one’s a beauty! Love the big wreath.
