Like most of you, I have a variety of crafting items stashed away, waiting to make an appearance. This week, I finally found a use for this felt wreath that I've had for ages. (I think it's from SU. I got a packet at a consignment sale with about 6 each of the wreath, holly leaves and mittens -- if I'm remembering correctly. So, I still have 5 wreaths to go ...)To create this card, I started a piece of white card stock cut to card size and stamped the gingham pattern on it. (I think this is an Impression Obsession stamp because it's huge -- about 6x6 inches. I'm pretty sure it was sold as a "second" and even with repeated stamping in the stamp platform there are some spots that didn't stamp well.) The gingham was trimmed down and added to a red card front.
I used a white snippet for the background the wreath is on, stamped a sentiment in the corner, and added a little flag of gingham fabric ribbon in the other corner. The layout is based on the current Sketch Saturday layout.

I rather like the look of the worn gingham . It gives a rustic look to your card. Wreath looks good with it too. Hugs Mrs A.
