Enchanted Garden Wreath for Paper Players #296

Hi Everyone. It's the fabulous Laurie's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a great sketch for us: I made a shaker card for this challenge- and then changed my mind. Even whilst I was making the shaker card, I had this idea about making a wreath using my new (but seems to be favorite) stamp set - Enchanted Garden.

Now.... how could I resist a challenge like that? I did have a couple of different options, but I kept going back to my Emu. I am so in love with this stamp and it makes me smile every time I use it. This time I decided to pair it with a totally different color scheme - Blackberry Bliss. it's not a color I use very often, but I love the... Read more →
