Simple Christmas Wreath

Good Morning.

Today's card features this lovely new Layered Holly Wreath stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.

A really nice one and perfect to do some stencil shifting to get a nice, full look to the wreath.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I cut a piece of cardstock 4" square.  I placed the Layered Holly Wreath onto my cardstock, centering it in the middle and inked it up with some  Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink.
• I shifted the stencil slightly and inked it up again, this time using some Lucky Clover and some rustic Wilderness DOX ink.  It made for a fuller looking wreath.
• I removed the holly stencil and laid the berries over the leaves and inked up with some Candied Apple DOX ink.  I splattered with my white Posca pen.
• When the piece was dry, I die cut a circle from the center.  
• I stamped the sentiment onto a circle die cut and set aside.
• I glued the stenciled piece onto some shiny red cardstock, it looks black but is really red, and then glued it onto a 4 1/4" card base.
• I popped the sentiment back into the middle area.

Here is the stencil I used:
