Season's Greetings - Simon Says Stamp Stamptember Sneak

Hey everyone!  I was lucky enough to receive a free set from Simon Says Stamp last week as part of their Stamptember festivities.

It's a sentiment set, and has several of Kristina Werner's great scripty sentiments.  I really wanted to showcase this one.  I started by stamping the sentiment, and then I used a circle template to lightly sketch a circle around the sentiment in pencil.

The set has two small circular sentiments, one that says Joy and the other Love.  To create the wreath, I used the reverse side of those circles and backstamped the green circles in second generation.  I added a few of the small circles stamped in red also.  To add some extra interest, I went back and stamped the 'real' side of the circles inside a few of the circles.



It needed a little more pizazz, so I used some small Bo Bunny gems to add some sparkle to the wreath.  I was looking for red gems because I think it needs a little balance in the reds, but I wasn't able to locate them....if you could see my craft space this would not be surprising at all....  To finish it off, I added a shadow to the sentiment with a gold Wink of Stella pen.

That's all for today!  Come back tomorrow for some exciting news and a hop!
