Holly wreaths

I met my daughter in Gunwhalf Quays, Portsmouth, yesterday to get our Christmas shopping well under way. We had a very successful shop and she also brought with her my holly wreaths which are made by her local florist.
I always like 2 wreathes, 1 for the front door

and one for my studio
I love the natural elements they used and especially the Kraft coloured ribbon. I needed a quick card to get up to date with the Funkie Junkie Challenge and also for some of my other fun challenges I love to enter. I decided to use some "left overs" from my #6 FJ card; a kraft blank which had some embossing paste already on it using my TH knits stencil and a left over gingerbread man I had made for my #6 FJ card.
No process photos I'm afraid as time was limited.
The sentiments are LOTV. The dies are a mix of MB, Spellbinders and J Sheen.. The gingerbread man is a really ancient wooden stamp of mine. I white embossed him and then added a pop of red with my gingham ribbon.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges;

The Funkie Junkie 12 tags of Christmas #10 I was inspired by Linda's neutral colours, embossed snowflakes and her pop of red. If you would like to play along with this fun Christmas challenge please check out Linda's post here which gives all the details of the challenge requirements. The challenge is sponsored by The Funkie Junkie Boutique and you could even win one of the prize vouchers if you complete all 12 weeks.

    Your wreaths are so gorgeous and how lovely to be able to have fresh ones.

    Pretty card Jane, fancy being able to make it from leftovers! The kraft card works so well with all of the white elements.

    Thank you for playing along once again with all of us at Crafty Boots Challenges.

    Jane, this is a wonderful version of Linda's tag! I love that little gingerbread man, and the gingham really sets off all the white and kraft! I think it's great you were able to use some of your leftovers"! Thank you for sharing this with our Winter Wishes Dare at Emerald Creek Dares! Hugs! Sara Emily DT

    PS I hope to get around to see all the entries to Linda's challenge soon! Trying to play catch up, but don't want to miss a thing! Your wreaths are exquisite!

    Really lovely wreaths, and a cracking take on tag 10 - I love the ribbon tied like a parcel and great collaging of the other elements.

    Another lovely gingerbread style card. What's not to love here wth all the wonderful white die cuts and wintery objects. The gingerbread man and mittens are perfect and the red gingham package look is the perfect finishing touch!

    Hugs,
