Here Comes Christmas! Penny Black Wreath

It's the final challenge of the year over at Through the Purple Haze Challenges. I can't believe it's the end of the year already! I've had a great time with Through the Purple Haze Challenges since it started - first as a challenge participant & now as part of the DT. It's a great bunch of people to work with and the entries each week are amazing!

This week we are sponsored by the amazing Penny Black Stamps . They currently have a prize draw going on on their Facebook page so it's worth popping over and joining in.

I saw this idea of a paper wreath on Pinterest and decided it was perfect to pair with the 12 Days of Christmas clear stamp set I have. This is the result:



The papers are printed from the Very Merry Christmas Paper Pack 1 from Echo Park onto A4 card and cut into strips. They're then fixed onto foam wreath bases. 

Even the back looks pretty!


Here are close up of the 12 days of Christmas. I love the characters!






I stamped the images with Memento Black Tuxedo and coloured them with a range of Promarkers. I'm not going to list them here as there are far too many to list.

The rosettes are made using the technique shown in Everyone Needs a Hougie and are made on my Hougie Board. I glued everything with hot glue to make sure it was securely stuck.

Here they are hanging on my wall :D


I really hope you like them.

Have a wonderful Christmas however you are celebrating and see you in the New Year for more fun challenges xxx

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:
