When I saw the new Penny Black dies and stamps at summer CHA, I knew there was no resisting. They had to be mine as soon as they came out:) The wreath is called Whirl Wreath and is on the cover of the new Penny Black catalog. The stamps on these two cards are from "Season's Gifts", a new clear set of PB stamps. I got this idea in my head to cut the wreath in green and white and layer it over the opposite color. I tried the card below first and decided the green was too plain and it needed something else. So I tried the idea again with green reindeer dp and a different sentiment. I added some red Stickles ornament balls on each wreath. Now I kinda like them both? What do you think?
I think they will both go in my Christmas card stash for this year and I will play with my new Penny Black goodies some more! I am entering these cards in the Anything Goes challenge at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, the Christmas challenge at Skipping Stones Stamp and Share, and the Holiday challenge at Live Love Cards.
Love that die AND your cards!!! Lovely.
