'Wreathed' in Smiles!

Tonight's quick post is my entry for this week's Scrap-Creations challenge - their theme is 'Christmas' and, with perfect timing, of course, I had just made a few Christmas cards towards my stash.  So I thought you might like to see this one - another fairly traditional image but made modern, I think:



Image: Just Inklined, 'Christmas Wreath Pinecones''

Paper: Graphic 45

I'm ridiculously pleased with this card - I just love the rich purples and I'm delighted with the bow!  Aaaah, small things.  But it works so well together and, strangely, I hadn't really anything in mind when I set out to colour this one.  It just sometimes works that way, doesn't it - a happy accident, almost.

I'm up late tonight, making the most of not being at work tomorrow!  I've been making little house gift boxes (see my previous post) today again as I need quite a few for small gifts for work.  As they will only contain sweeties or biscuits, just a token gesture, I thought it would make it all a little more personal and interesting if I made the boxes.  I'll post them when they're all done. 




Right, I'm off to have a light supper whilst watching telly, before popping to bed with my Kindle. I feel very rebellious being up past 10.30 on a 'school night'!!!!

Happy crafting.

    I love the color, and the bow is GREAT!!! Another wonderful coloring job, and a great inspiration. I actually have this image and was going to start working on it, but now I may reconsider the colors I was planning to use. Thanks. Hope you get enough rest.
