Christmas is coming

 
I grew up in the country and each year you'd know Christmas was well and officially near when you'd see wreaths pop up on doors and mailboxes.  And being the country, the boughs often came from your own evergreens.  I love love love that smell.  Lights were popular too but not starting in October!

The Details:
Martha Stewart punch and score board, Inkssentials white enamel accents, Fiskars stamps (All that Glitters "Christmas" & snowflakes, and Sentiments "cheer"), PTI white card stock, Brilliance Graphite Black, Color Box Cranberry, green cardstock from old stash, Spellbinders cardinal, Cheery Lynn Alison's Ribbons, Hampton Art clear embossing powder, Sizzix embossing folder and my beloved glossy accents.

I'm entering this in Festive Friday FC20 Wreaths, Casology 67 Country, Penny Black and More Anything Goes, Jingle Belles Critters, and Wordplay Saturday Anything challenges.

    Ahh! I love this card and your cat-- looks a little like my Atticus, who also helps me craft! He loves when I make circle dies and toss them in the air, carries them all over the house! I live in the PNW as well, Seattle! Great work!

    Toni, this card is so full of the tiniest beautiful details! The dry embossing, the realistic pine branches, the dots of snow on the branches, the beautiful cardinal...perfectly country, perfectly gorgeous! So glad you joined us at CASology this week!
