Now to my card and today I would like to introduce you to:
My square card features a wreath design stamped using the middle sized lily. These stamps are ‘Reversibles’ and while they don’t line up exactly they give a lovely watercolored effect to your stamped image.
I used my Stamparatus to not only create the wreath but to layer several colours on each lily. The first layer of colour was stamped off to ensure a softer coverage and the second was applied directly to the stamp using a sponge dauber. I tried to pick out the colours in the lilies featured on the designer series paper.
The sentiment is from the Sending You Thoughts stamp set. After stamping the wreath I matted it on a piece of Grapefruit Grove before then matting the panel with a piece of DSP. This was then adhered to a square card base of Blackberry Bliss. A few jewels were applied around the sentiment. I love jewels!!! I would like them in every colour. These Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#151193) can be found on page 15 of the new mini catalogue. The little Garden Green spray of dots comes from another Level 1 Sale-A-Bration set – Happy Birthday to You stamp set (#152308).
The next demonstrator to share their Sale-A-Bration inspiration with you is the lovely Rebecca Jacovou.

I love your wreath card Michele and the colours are beautiful. I must try this someday!
The way you use the stamped images and arrange them on the card is amazing and inspiring! It gives a hint of Hindu feel and will definitely be one of my CASE projects LOL!
Michele, I so love your wreath cards and this one using the water lily is gorgeous. You are inspiring me to create more “wreaths”. 💖
Thanks Andrea.
Ok Michele, I am coming to you to learn how to make these wreath square cards. You have done it again! Fantastic and I love it. Now I have to get this stamp set too! I love the paper but didn’t think I needed the stamp set but with you and Catherine doing such amazing cards, the pair of you are enablers!!!!!
You are welcome to come play anytime Sharon.
Oh Michele, absolutely gorgeous, I love your wreath cards and this one is awesome. These lilies are growing on me!
I agree Kate. They weren’t my favourite but now that I am using them I actually like them a lot more.
Such a clever card Michele, and I love your choice of colour combination.
Thanks Christina.
Oooh, pretty! And now I know what to do with that spotty stamp! It’s kinda puzzled me on how to use it. LOL
Tina I love little stamps like this as they fill in so many small gaps when stamping a wreath.
Great use on the lily stamp set and not how I would think to use it.
Thanks Ros.
Lovely card, Michele, thank you for sharing!
Thanks Sujatha.
Great card Michele, very clever idea to use the Stamparatus with this stamp.
Thanks Rachel. I use my Stamparatus for everything!!!
The colours you’ve used on your project are so pretty Michelle. Totally terrific card!
Thanks Rachel.
Michelle, it is amazing the way you’re able to make a wreath card out of any stamp! This is so cute and clever, I love it xxx
It’s a bit of an addiction Catherine 🙂
