Holidays Wreath
by Ilona Zbieg

Christmas, Watercolor, Winter

Hi Poppystamps fans

Today is my second inspiration for Blog Bliz. 

I started this card by watercoloring a background. My background is not the traditional Christmas colors. I used yellow color to make it fresh.

In the next step I cut two wreaths  in two colors and glued one to the other. I created poinsettia using Holiday Poinsettia die. 

The inscription on a card in the same color as one of the wreaths.

  10. Very pretty card! I like the non-traditional color, but I know what my husband would say (he really wants everything to be red and green with maybe a little gold and silver). I’m trying hard to bring him around.

  14. OH, I love the layered wreaths and gorgeous poinsettia embellishment. This die would get a lot of use throughout the holidays!

  41. What a novel color palette for a Christmas card. I need to try my hand at that one. (I always go the conservative route, which mean my cards seldom surprise.) Your watercolor blues are fabulous, and I love the white holly wreath under the blue. This die is a beauty, and your card is stunning. Thank you for some new ideas for palettes this season.

  45. Love the pretty poinsettias and the added dimension you created by using two colors on the wreath ! Super card!!!

  46. I like how you did the two colors of wreaths and offset them against each other. The poinsettias give a nice pop of color for the interesting background that you did.

  49. LOVE this wreath!! I amp icturing it die cut numerous times in different shades of greens or blues and layered to give it lots of depth and texture! TFS!
