So onto my card details.

Being a Canadian, we will be celebrating Thanksgiving in less then 2 weeks so I decided to use my maple leaf stamp and turn it into a wreath.

I used the Gina K wreath builder template which made it super simple and easy to do. 

I place the template into my Misti then placed my stamp into position.  Using my Tombow markers in shades of red, I coloured the leaf, sprayed with water and stamped.  I turned my cardstock in the template and repeated again with the reds, stamping out 4 red leaves in the corners.

When that was dry, I placed the piece into another position on the template and stamped 4 orange leaves between the red ones.

I stamped the Thanksgiving sentiment and pop dotted it over the center of the wreath.  I added a few red half pearls to jazz it up a bit.

I simple mounted that onto some heavy white cardstock and card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
