Clearly Besotted design the most fabulous wreaths and this summery Simply Scrumptious set is a perfect example. With such a gorgeous image I wanted to keep it simple so I started with a light water-colour wash on Tim Holtz card with Gansai Tambi paints (adore that pool colour). I waited until the background was totally dry before stamping the leaves of the wreath in Peeled Paint and gently moving the ink around with a damp brush. I also added some depth and details with Distress Markers. For the strawberries I coloured Distress Markers directly on the image before stamping in the gaps left for them on the wreath. Again I went back in with the markers to give more details.
To finish, I stamped the sentiment in Versafine Onyx Black and accented the wreath with sequins and pearls. This makes for a really quick and simple card :D
