I have two pretty cards using Jill's Sketch #10 over on their PB&J YouTube channel! If you're watching too, you'll know Sketch #11 hit today - I better get busy!
Jill has used wreathes for her sketch and after I shopped my stash and found only one wreath die, and not one wreath stamp - but that's okay I had a work-around for that using one of those tiny little stamps from an Altenew set. There were lots that don't get much attention. First - here's that Sketch:
I'll share my stamped wreath first...
While I couldn't find a wreath stamp, I did find an oval shaped die to
use as a guide. A very light pencil tracing made free style stamping quite easy!
Altenew Eclectic Bouquet and PF Oval Foliage stamps worked their charm,
and I love the Altenew Misty Moor ink for these.
This wonderful Altenew Rustic Rose was added to my stash during the Christmas sales.
They had me at that bow! And I just couldn't bring myself to cut off that leaf
so I just moved my panel down to the lower left corner and skipped Jill's detail
around the edge of the panel.
Pinkfresh Studios Layered Wreath, Spellbinders' Christmas Bird Poinsettia die set,
and a beautiful sentiment from Penny Black's Joy & Warmth came together
beautifully for my die cut wreath card - a wee bit less CAS than Jill's example, but
I couldn't help myself - I doubled the wreath and added more dimension with the
added foliage and pretty Poinsettia!
If you have this wreath die you might wonder where that detail comes from? While
it was still wet I flipped it over and used a stylus on a mouse pad to add it.
The wonderful die that Jill uses to add a little interest to her card panel is another
on my very long wish list - this 'old thing' from Lil' Inkers worked just fine.
You've all been so kind with your comments - will you be as sad as I when this series comes to an end? Only two more to go!

that little leaf stamp has made a brilliant wreath. It is such a good idea to use those small stamps that don't otherwise see much action. Your rose is amazing and the texture and dimension on your second card, not to mention the colours, are very special xx
Jill's sketches are a wonderful jumping off point, and I love that you add plenty of your own creativity. What a fabulous big rose bud that is! Your stamped oval wreath is perfect with it. I really love the sweet wreath and gentle blue poinsettia on your second card. In any two shades it's a winning combo. It's been great fun for me watching you play along with the sketches. Your focus is admirable!
Beautiful wreath made of small leaves. Love your rose so pretty Michele thanks for sharing 🩷💙🩵
These are both soooo pretty Michele! I love that rustic rose with the wreath behind it, and yes that bow too!! Your 2nd card is just as beautiful...I love the dimension you created with the wreath leaves and that blue Poinsettia is gorgeous!! I too am sad that there's only one more sketch coming from Jill...she has saved my sanity this past month!! Hugs :0)
I'm enjoying these videos too but not doing as well as you in playing with them! Love your wreaths and that gorgeous rose! And the sweet blue poinsettia on the double layer wreath is a jaw dropper! Keep them coming, my friend!
