I could hardly resist the urge to press 'publish' after making my card for IB194C - our Christmas version of Inspired By this week. I had a chance to get my hands on my friend's The Greetery's Winterberry Bouquet set a few weeks ago - I have a special place in my heart for Winterberry bushes, and all the birds they bring to my studio window!
this lovely embossed background was a generous gift [Cuttlebug Distressed stripes]from another friend, and you may recognize the Spellbinders' Hemstitch Circle dies by now?
Here's a little closeup for you...
I have tucked a few pearls in - it's such a feminine set for them! that little bow comes
from a CP set called Woodland Wreath; my sentiment is a Waffle Flower Crafts Wonderful Christmas combo set of sentiments - it's quickly becoming a favorite!
Thank you Marcia for sharing your bounty with me!
You may have your eye on the other photo inspiration this week - that wreath is also really gorgeous, and Thanksgiving is around the corner! We love to see what inspires you each week - so play 'til your hearts are happy! I know my heart is always happy seeing the lovely cards my teamies have made - check them out!

Great idea to use the Spellbinders circles for the wreath! A perfect place to put those gorgeous winterberries!
Gorgeous! The stamps are beautiful - and I LOVE the colors you used!
Absolutely gorgeous card! Just a note, Winterberry Bouquet is by The Greetery not PTI. Have a wonderful day.
Stunning as always my friend, love every single detail!
Stunning...the way you color these berries reflects how much you love them. Amazes me how you can collect different elements and arrange them into to one beautiful, cohesive card.
Another bit of gorgeousness, Michele.
So very pretty, Michele and elegant too! So happy this brings you joy not only in the stamp but also in the model you have outside your home. It sounds so lovely to hear that you get a front row seat to watching the birds enjoy their bounty. :)
I guess I had forgotten that you colored this one at my house, but it's absolutely BEAUTIFUL Michele! I just LOVE the colors you used on the leaves...soooo pretty!! Beautiful details on this card too my friend...a real STUNNER!! Think this set needs to come live at your house - just sayin... :0)
I love the offset wreath with those beautiful berries, Michele. The leaf color that ties in with the sentiment is unexpected and so soft and pretty.
Creative idea to use the die cut circle for the wreath and what a beautiful wreath card Michele, with the prettiest of Winterberries x.
