Hi all. I have made another card using the stamps from Creative Stamping Magazine issue 101. There are so many pretty leaves and flowers and these were different stamps to my last circular design as these were all open shapes which I have coloured using some ancient Sakura Gelly Roll Stardust Pens with a waterbrush for a lovely sparkly finish and I also used some dimensional pearl drops on the red and white berries.
I started by stamping the large flower and leaf branch and then added another smaller mistletoe branch and finished the wreath with a partial circle edge stamp to join it up, all stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink and then I coloured with my Sakura Pens and water to spread the colour and soften the effect whilst giving the whole thing some wonderful shimmer, unfortunately not visible here. I didn't know until recently that you could use water with these pens but it worked a treat. I finished by cutting it into a square to comfortably fit on a 6" square card and matted it on to gold mirri card. I then added some 3D pearl drops in red and white opal to the different berries, and added a sentiment to the centre of the wreath using WOW Metallic Gold Embossing Powder.
Thank you for coming to visit today and I'll see you again soon.

Love this Pat. Pretty colours and beautifully watercoloured.
I bought this mag because of these stamps as I thought they would be really useful. I've used them too but can't show it ----- yet!
Wishing you a lovely Christmas and a good New Year. xx
A lovely delicate wreath and it must look really good with the shimmer effect

This is really beautiful Pat, I love the wreath design. Thanks for the tip about using water with Sakura pens, I didn't realise they could be used with water. xx
Love how you constructed and decorated this beautiful wreath Pat. I’ve got some of those ancient pens too, they still work a treat. Happy Christmas xxx
Both of your wreath cards are just gorgeous - you are a great floral arranger! Merry Christmas, xoxo

Very pretty card. I like the colors and the image. So elegant. Thanks for sharing over at Happy little Stampers watercolor.
You've coloured this floral wreath beautifully Pat, such a pretty card, thankyou too for joining in at Watercooler Wednesday, Cathy x
Your Christmas wreath is gorgeous Pat! Love the dimension from the pearls. Great work! I didn't know that you could add water to the jelly roll pens. Interesting! I'm hoping to buy a set for myself. I had one years ago, but they all dried up and I didn't use them much. But I can see them being used in a new way with the techniques that are current. Happy New Year! xx
Hi Pat!
I love this elegant CAS beauty!

Beautiful Christmas card! Thank you for sharing about using water with Sakura gelly roll pens - I had no idea. The effect is lovely. Love the dimension you added with the pearl dots. Apologies for the late comment. Thanks for joining us at Happy Little Stampers ~ Watercolor Challenge.
