The sentiment is by Visible Image and I love, love, love it! I just had to add the cute little fairy from Cardio clear set Secret Garden. They are both stamped in black Versafine. The little fairy is hovering slightly above the 'S' but on the other card I made, I got the placement spot on but I blogged this one as I like the colours better. The wreath is stamped using Cardio Whimsical Christmas set of stamps and various pigment inks. I drew a circle, in pencil, around the sentiment using a coffee tin - this was my guide for the stamping. I stamped several times with each inking to give different shades and dimension. When dry, I erased the pencil circle and added some golden rod Stickles for a touch of sparkle.
I have a few sets of these little stamp sets and should use them more - they are so easy to use and very versatile.

Oh, my, Chris, you do amaze and impress me! This is a positively beautiful Christmas card, but to me it took a lot of time, patience, precision, and talent and every one of those things is clear from how your finished card shines! And that sweet fairy element was a genius touch!! Hugs, Darnell
Gorgeous card Christine!
so delicate and perfect in every way!
Chris, that's so, so gorgeous! Love the colours, the sentiment, the wreath & the little fairy makes it even more magical.

Such a beautiful and delicate card, Chris. I bet it took a while, placing all those individual stamps, but definitely worth it for the finished effect. Jx
