Keeping Christmas-May 2019

It's time for the May installment of Keeping Christmas with The Challenge design team!  I used stamps and dies from SugarPea Designs along with the current Mojo Monday sketch for my holiday themed design.

I turned the layout's round frame shape into a classic greenery wreath created with SPD's Funky Wreath-All Seasons stamps and coordinating dies.  The wreath was adhered to a red cardstock panel using foam tape.  To dress it up, I stamped and die cut a red bow, then placed it at the bottom of the wreath.  For the sentiment, I cut a long fishtail flag strip from kraft cardstock and stamped the "season's greetings" sentiment on the straight edge in red ink before tucking it beneath the raised wreath image.  A trio of green enamel dots arranged at the lower right side of the panel finished the festive design.
