This is my first Christmas card for 2022. The new Christmas challenge at Splitcoast Stampers has started up again I have committed to two cards per month. It's quite a fun group if you are looking to get your cards done a little sooner this year. January's theme is wreaths.
I chose an image from my collection of Power Poppy digis. I have not used this one before. I colored the image with Copic markers. I surrounded it with a light brown pastel. The difference between the green of the wreath and the white background seemed a little too stark. The brown eased the transition. I used a crushed red paper that I absolutely love. I bought it in several colors from Hobby Lobby about a year ago.
I am entering this card in the following challenges:
613 Avenue Create - Anything Goes
Peace On Earth Christmas Challenge - Must be Christmas
Classic Design Challenge - Anything Goes
Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog - Anything Goes
Colour Crazy Craft Challenge - Anything Coloring Goes

Beautiful wreath Diane. love depth of colouring. Yes time to get next years cards ready ♥
ReplyDeleteYes, I see why you like the red pepper! My gosh, the coloring on the wreath is perfect. I feel for you home schooling. Too bad you can't line up a sub one day a week. Seriously I'm a little shocked as many people are quitting their jobs that you can't hire a temp sub . I know, become friends with the head of that at your local school district and she can send someone on their waiting list. Heehee kinda scary that could be done. Well, 4 more months and you will never make that mistake again, am I right? P.S. WHY is Anne Forte (sp) having everyone post to January over at the Xmas card challenge, even for themes different month???? I don't get that, guess I'll just message her. XOX
