Christmas card club challenge 9

this week it is Rita who has asked us to make a card with the theme Christmas Wreaths....

I seem to be using lots of Tim Holtz dies since I found my big shot up in the loft....all these dies I had bought and stored away...now they are out.
this is the tim Holtz Layered Holiday Wreath which I have embellished with nuvo drops and stampendous chunky white embossing enamel...a bit of gold gilding wax...the embossing folder is a really old tim holtz one and the paper is just from my stash....

Please pop round and see the cards created by the other girls in the club,their links are on my side bar...

happy Birthday Barbara

its my sister in laws birthday this week and sadly she has dementia and is now living in a home...a terrible disease...on the bright side the home is very good and will give her a cake and a party....

I have made this using the Tonic square flourish die set....and kept things monochrome as she reacts badly to some colours.....the sentiment is a Sue Wilson die...
I enjoyed making this card ...I hope you are having a great day and thank you for popping by today.
