Stick Wreath

Good Morning

Today's card is a simple one and I love the way it turned out.

It features the newly released Stick Wreath and the Christmas stamp set from A Colorful Life Designs.

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

• I cut a piece of white cardstock 4 x 4 inches as I wanted to make a square card.
• I placed the cardstock onto my Make Art Station, placed the Stick Wreath over that and inked it up with some Iced Spruce Distress Oxide ink.
• I removed the stencil, gave it a wipe and repositioned, shifting it slightly.  I inked it up with some Rustic Wilderness DOX.  
• I repeated that process one more time, inking with Aged Mahogany DOX ink.
• While that dried, I die cut the little bird and glued it all together.
• I wanted the wreath to have some berries, so using the eraser end of a pencil, I inked it up with some Lumberjack Plaid DOX and stamped those in bunches of 3's.
• I added some more Aged Mahogany DOX ink along the edges just to tone down the white. 
• I added some white splatters with my Posca pen and placed the panel into my Misti to stamp the sentiment from the new Christmas Stamp set.
• I glued the finished panel onto a dark red 4 1/4 square card base and glued the bird along the bottom edge.

Here is the stencil I used:
