Quick post as I only realised this morning that I hadn't posted my Less is More card for this week - and after being Showcased' last week with my winter birdies card too! (It's here if you haven't seen it!)
I treated myself and went for a lovely massage this morning - hot stones and aromatherapy - just wonderfully relaxing - but am now so laid back can't get going to do anything LOL!
So here is this weeks card for the challenge which is 'Sparkle' -
Black pearlised card for the background, matted onto silver pearl card.
The off cut from the silver pearl card just used to punch out lots of leaves and stuck in a circle.(and as all the pressure made my hand sore my idea of making a batch was quickly laid to rest!!!).
A scrap of silver edged black ribbon in a tiny bow and a few very small (and very fiddly to glue!) gems finished the wreath.
Sentiment stamped and embossed in Silver EP.
I have another card to finish today so I can also get my entries into Pixies Playground - otherwise the Head Girl will send me to the naughty step!!! So this is the first of my 'snippets make' - and I need to get my skates on to get the other one done!

Hello chilled-out one!
Lovely festive wreath card you've got going on here. Punching is the idea way to use up snippets.

Wow Viv, this is gorgeous! Great use of little snippets and I do so love the silver and black. Mind you, I can see why you only made the one tons of work there :)

Very elegant, and very nice! Thanks for sharing it with us at Delightful Challenges, "You're A Gem"! :)
I love the wreath, the silver pearl stands out beautifully against the black pearl, but I can see that it must have been a lot of punching.
This is one very elegant & sophisticated card, with the pearly dark background & your silver-y twig wreath. Stunning. TFS
