I also decided to share one last Less is More card using silver that I didn't post yesterday. I hadn't decided if I liked it or not, but this morning I decided that I do! :) I punched flowers out of a shimmery silver paper to create a Christmas wreath. I've seen a lot of wreaths made out of punched shapes lately, and I wanted to give it a try. I tried it with a sentiment, too, but prefer it without.
Yesterday morning while tromping about in the woods with my dog, I was surprised by this lovely owl as it swooped down right in front of us. It drifted up into a tree where it stayed long enough for some pictures.
Thanks for your visit today.

I love the layers of leaves and such a beautiful use of the colors! So glad to see you at Dynamic Duos!
Both of your cards are beautiful, your wreath is so elegant too.
I love he layering of your leaves! The scoring is a perfect little detail! Thanks for joining us at Dynamic Duos!
Ann, I love the leaf card (still adore that stamp!), and the silver floral wreath is gorgeous. You are ROCKING that LIM challenge this week!
All of those leaves are just lovely. Thank you so much for joining us this week at CASology!
What an amazing photo and I love your gorgeous cards...the wreath is incredible!
I love the CAS-ness of both of your cards. The leaves are terrific, and the punched flower wreath is so clever!
I love these cards Anne, especially the wreath one. I too have been going to try a punched wreath. I have the punches cut and ready to go but haven't got round to it yet. How lucky to see the owl!
Beautiful work, Ann! Both your cards are gorgeous! I can't believe the first one is a five minute card. That one would take me more than that! The wreath is really pretty, I love it!
The scoring definitely makes the leaf card pop! Love the multi-inking - it adds so much dimension :) And the red twine/floss bow is the perfect pop of colour on the wreath card! Love it :)
As for the owl, COOL! I can't imagine having the presence of mind to take a picture :)
I've been meaning to try the rock and roll technique, it's just perfect on your leaves! Thanks again for the inspriation!
Your leaves are so pretty. Love the colours. x
A beautiful wreath.
Gorgeous card for the silver challenge. It's not easy to use black color in 'happy' or christmas cards, but this one is just great. Must have been some work with the leafs.

Totally beautiful cards, Ann. You have a wonderful style and imagination! Lovely. Kx
Hi Ann,
Fabulous cards. I have been following your blog for a while but hadn't signed up to it until now.
I love the wreath card and would love to take some inspiration from it and create one of my own. I've been a bit obsessed with wreaths of all kinds recently but haven't made any of the projects but starting small seems like the way to go.
All the best.

I saw this on the DD blog and loved it! You combined those colours so beautiful and your stamped panel is flawless! Thanks for playing along with CASology this week!
Love both cards but that wreath on black is so stunning. Kinda like that owl perched up on that branch!
Beautiful cards ~ really love the leaves ~ great job with the rock-n-roll technique!
Both gorgeous cards - love the combination of orange and green leaves with that modern sentiment. And that dramatic wreath is stunning. No sentiment required - it speaks for itself!
