Christmas is Coming

I had a terrible time taking a good shot of this card and this was the best of a bad bunch. I took it outside to see if natural light helped, nope! Anyway, you'll have to trust me that the photo doesn't do this card justice! I used the set "Joyous Celebrations" which has one tiny mistletoe branch I was able to use to make this wreath. Love how it turned out. The close-up shots give you a much clearer idea of the true colours in the wreath.



I did some nifty shading with my Cherry Cobbler marker to make the bow pop.
