Life Is Good Wreath Card

Yes, Life IS Good! I make it a practice that before I get up each morning, to give thanks for all of the wonderful blessings in my life. I focus on the fact that Life Is Good and that is how I want it, so this card is a great reflection of how I feel and see things.
The inspiration for the card design comes from two challenges this week. Mojo Monday's #334-Tall & Skinny and Heart 2 Heart Flourishes challenge. I used the following colors on this project: Olive & New England Ivy, Colonial White, Sky, and Outdoor Denim.

I had been wanting to use both the Remarkable Wreath and the Swirls Around Flair stamp sets and this was the perfect design to use both of them. The focal element was cut with my Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge, which I feel really helps the wreath pop!
I stamped the swirl with Outdoor Denim pigment ink and then applied clear embossing powder to really give the color a punch and to add dimension to that panel. I also used two different embossing folders for the main panel of the card. The Quartrefoil was used on the colonial white cardstock and I used the Dots folder on the three strips of cardstock at the bottom.
I hope you like what I have put together here. And remember, focus with gratitude on all that is right in your life and you will bring more of the same into your life. Life IS Good, truly!

I hope you will take a brief moment to leave me a comment and let me know what you like best about this project. In the meantime, Happy Paper Crafting!
