Hi everyone. I made this for the current challenge at Uniko Studios. My friend, Sandie (London Days) has just joined their design team and so wanted to join in.
Here's the challenge ...
Today I'm using a beautiful wreath stamp I bought after seeing this beautiful card made by Sandie. I just HAD to have it :)
I had trouble photographing this card. It's hard to capture a good photo when the card has lots of glitter. The wreath is stamped in gold ink and then heat embossed with an iridescent powder. I do love the shimmer and colours this embossing powder adds, but it's almost impossible to get it to show in the photos. I'll include a close-up below and hopefully you can see more ...
Stamps: Adornment (Penny Black); Joy sentiment is from Holiday Sketches: Christmas Candles (STAMPlorations)
Paper: White (Neenah)
Ink: Gold (Colorbox)
Accessories & Tools: Iridescent embossing powder (Ice from SU!), heat tool, gold metallic pen, gold stickles

I can see why you NEEDED that stamp, Loll! Love it and love what you did with it...sparkle aplenty:)
Beautifully done, Loll - love the stickles on the berries and the extra gold pen on the bow. Can't believe we both just independently ordered that stamp!!
Super elegant. It photographs beautifully for me. You should be proud.
This card is outstanding! You nailed it with the Stickles without overdoing it!
OMG Loll...Gorgeous gold sparkles (love your gold stickles berries), EB powder and Irredescent Ice EB powder. I love this stamp too. TFS my friend.
I NEED this stamp too! It is so beautiful and you have captured the sparkle so well. Gorgeous CAS card xx

I was going to say just what Bonnie said. So I'll repeat, I love this wreath and it's spectacular done in gold with sparkle.
Oh this IS pretty! Love the simplicity of the look, and that gorgeous gold embossing. I have this stamp, and it must be hiding with my PSX bell stamp. This is one really beautiful card. Such sparkle & class. TFS & Hugs. (now off to see what the other blog you're doing has going on).
OMG! Love all the gold around the wreath - elegant card!

Ooh, la, la....this is a golden beauty, Loll. I LOVE it. I think I have a wreath very similar to this one and may have never used it. This really makes me want to dig it out.
