Merry Monday #220 - How Will You Decorate Your Front Door?

Hello friends.  Bonnie is hosting this weeks Merry Monday challenge, and she wants to see how you will decorate your front door.  Pretty simple for me as I'm just a traditional girl at heart!  Yes, I will decorate my front door with a wreath!!  :0)


I pulled out my FAVORITE wreath embossing folder from Spellbinders and came up with this:


After running my cardstock through the embossing folder and Big Shot, I lightly sponged on Ocean Tides and Pine Feather inks (PTI) to just the raised areas of the wreath.  I matted with a layer of Real Red cardstock and attached to a white card base.  A simple red gingham bow tied with some twine and a simple tag (PTI's Tiny Tags) finished off my wreath card.

How will you decorate your front door this Christmas?  We would love to see what you come up with!  Check out all the inspiration from my fabulous team mates and then play along with us.  You can find all the info you need right HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by today...I love it when you do!  :0)

This is beautiful, Marcia. I'm not the greatest at 'lightly inking' but you have the right touch.
