Season's Greetings! Atlantic Heart Challenge with Tim Holtz Stamp and die set

Good morning!  I believe today is my first holiday card of the season.  I have been wanting to use this stamp and die set for a while now...like since last year.  As soon as I the sketch for this week at Atlantic Hearts Challenge I knew I would finally try it.

Here's this week's sketch:

I stamped  and embossed this image a total of four times.  First was the base image, then two more green and one red.  I used the various dies to cut out portions of the wreath for layering.  I still ended up fussy cutting some pieces to achieve the look I desired.

Ingredients:

Tim Holtz/Sizzix Season's Greetings stamp and die set

Wow embossing powder clear

American Craft Pine pigment ink

Versacolor Cardinal pigment ink

Recollections gems

pen

kraft and red card stock
