Joy Wreath

I used the small thistle stamp repeatedly in a circle with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink to create this wreath for my Christmas card on watercolor paper. I used gold embossing powder and used the joy stamp for my sentiment. I used gold vellum to frame the image and mounted it with foam tape on the red card base. Made a small bow with some cream and gold ribbon for embellishment. Simple and understated, but pretty. I changed it up by making a square card.
