Hello Magenta Friends! Cassandra here today sharing a Christmas card with a open wreath layer design.

Using the Gina K Wreath Builder template, I stamped the Pine branches with Mowed Lawn distress ink for the first go round and then with Rustic Wilderness on the second. Next, I stamped and masked of the Chickadees on Branch on the inside of a card base so I could blend out the blue background using Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers distress ink and then splattered a little Copic Opaque White paint. Once dry, I removed the mask and added touches of Antique Linen to the birds using a small blending brush. Then, I determined the size of the circle that I wanted to cut out of the centre to create the wreath and to the top of the card so that it would create dimension and a shadow box effect. I popped up the wreath panel onto the card cover and then gold heat emboss stamped the Merry Christmas sentiment on a stripe of red card stock. After trimming it, I adhered it to the card and added some jewels for some sparkle.
