I adore this new Painted Harvest stamp set! Actually the entire suite, but I am only using the stamp set for today’s card. I know you have seen hundreds on Pinterest or other craft sites but I could not help myself in continuing to play with it.
Painted Harvest, 144783
For me, this card is very minimal. I think that is a good change of ideas. I focused on the wreath from Painted Harvest. I stamped both stamps (it is a two step stamp) in Always Artichoke and both were full strength. I then used the little dots that are intended as the center of the sunflower for my berries for the wreath. And a little Linen Thread bow is all it needed for a cute and country looking wreath.
I cut out the Whisper White wreath piece with the Stitched Shapes largest square before I stamped. Since the Painted Harvest set is photopolymer, it is so easy to center it on the paper. The sentiment is from Star of Light stamp set. This was my favorite set from last year and I was thrilled when it carried over into this annual catalog.
The DSP I used is from the Be Merry Designer Series Paper in the annual catalog. I have already used one pack of that paper! I debated on embossing the Always Artichoke layer but in the end just left it plain. I like this simple look.

So beautiful, Jackie! I love this layout, and this wreath is a beauty!
I’ll be case’ing this so be prepared. I love discovering additional ways to use my stamps and this just so pretty. I may use it for my card class next month.
Oh wow, I saw your creation on Mary’s blog and had to make a comment. This is gorgeous. The colors are just perfect. I love the homey touch with the linen thread – a perfect compliment. I was trying to avoid buying this set – painted harvest, but somehow you managed to convince me I need it to CASE this card. Even the font on the star of light’s Merry Christmas is perfect. I would be so thrilled to use this as my main holiday card this year. The color combination is one of my favorites. Thank you for such a wonderful card. Between your card and Brian’s card today – I am one happy camper!
Thank you so much Chris for the sweet comments. Yours is probably the best comment I have ever received.
