Isn't this a gorgeous card!! Sam Bracegirdle from Rubberdubber made a a couple of flip cards and videos so I gave one a try and had success!
The card base is Pool Party 6 3/4" x 5" stamped with White Craft Ink and the Hardwood background stamp.
The focal point of the card is the wreath. It's three layers of color- Pool Party, Bermuda Bay and Real Red. I wanted a bold sentiment, so I used my go to "Holiday Cheer" greeting from Cheerful Tags. To make the greeting stand out, I added a background made by punching a Real Red Artisan Label and cutting the center portion out.
The inside has a Real Red wreath with the sentiment from Wondrous Wreath. I kept it simple and clean. The last thing to go on the card was a sprinkling of stars. Yes, I had to add stars...couldn't help myself! I punched out a bunch of Silver Glimmer stars with the Confetti Star Punch (a MUST HAVE!) and added them around the card with a dab of Tombow glue.
I love the bit of sparkle that the stars give, it looks beautiful with these colors. I am a big fan of traditional Christmas colors, but the combination of the pale blues with red just makes me happy!!
