Using a piece of white card stock measuring 5.25 x 4 inches, I scored some lines to make a "door" with panels. To make the wreath on the door, I punched multiple (30+) branches with a Martha Stewart punch in to shades of green. I punched a large circle (a ring really) with a 2 inch and a 2.25 inch circle punch to be used to adhere my branches in a circle. After scoring my door panels, I used a Copic marker C02, to add a bit of shadow to the panels. To my leafy wreath, I added a bow stamped on red paper (PTI). I cut the bow out and adhered it to the top of the wreath with a pop dot. The sentiment is also from PTI and was stamped on white and punched out with the long oval window slot punch...which made it fit nicely behind the wreath. I also punched some red "berries", but they didn't pop enough so I added a piece of red bling on each red circle. Finished off my door by adding a gold doorknob (gold brad), then popped the door panel on a white card base. It's difficult to see on here, but I used the clear star pen from Sakura to add a little sparkle to the bow.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Your comments and your visits are always appreciated!! Until next time...

i'm a sort of lurker.....not being a commenter, since i get your posts in my email. but this one requires a comment! i was excited to think your door was a new embossing folder or die...when i read how you made this gorgeous piece of art, all i could think of, is that i want one for christmas! LOL!
you must have a lot of patience to make a card this involved...but it sure looks to be worth it in the end! kudos.

Beautiful Susan. Love the panels on the door and the shading is a super touch. The bow is just sumptious. x
This is absolutely marvelous. I love the way you created the door, and the wreath is excellently done. The doorknob is the perfect finishing touch!
I'm glad you shared this card in this week's 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown challenge! I hope you'll join us again soon. :)
Fabulous! Love your door and the great wreath. A work of art. Thanks for joining us this week at 52CCT!
Oh my goodness, what a stunning card Susan, I adore the way you've made a punch art wreath and a door to hang it on - ingenious! Thanks so much for sharing your fab card with us at 52 {C}CT, please come back soon! Ruth x
Thank you for the nice compliment Susan. I think you've need as much patience as I, because your wreath also is composed of oodles of small parts. What I find absolutely fabulous on your card, is the door as background. It looks great, ......and there is even a door knob! Just wonderful!!!
Have a nice weekend
