Hi blog friends! While this could easily be made into a Christmas card, I decided it would make a lovely summer wreath. Why not? I have used the small sprig from the Heartfelt Creations that comes in the Bella Rose Die set. I used four different shades of green and cut out about 6 sprigs from each colour. This die will easily allow you to cut them two at a time and I didn't bother embossing these, so it went very quickly. I used the Valour embossibility on white card for a crisp clean white embossed background for my wreath. I left the bottom of the card without embossing and stamped my sentiment on the right side. To begin my wreath, I used a bit of Cosmic Shimmer dries clear glue on the end of each sprig and alternated the colours as I attached them in a circular pattern. The Scalloped Posy die set comes with eight very small flowers that are perfect for this. I cut about 24 of these flowers using a pale pink and a deep cranberry colour and added them randomly to my wreath. I added a small dot in the centre of each of them using the Cosmic Shimmer pearl PVA glue. I cut a thin border from the same cranberry coloured card and used a decorative insert to cut a pretty accent in it. I used this border to separate the embossed section from the unembossed section on my background. I tied a double loop bow from some matching cranberry coloured satin edged ribbon (a new ribbon to play with!)and added some pearl decorative pins. I pierced the entire edge to frame my wreath and finish the card. Generic enough for any sentiment of your choice and suitable for many occasions too. All for now, Sue x
