Hi all, today I have been busy making my very own Christmas wreath I will be making a couple of bigger ones but I had this idea in my mind all night and just had to get stuck in, I am actually not sure that I am happy with it in these pictures it looks a lot better in real life.
I started by using my large XCut Scallop dies to cut a double ring I then cut a scallop circle from some Hunkydory snow acetate and placed it in between the two circles and stuck it down, I added a Studio Light Teddy Bear Christmas decoupage in the middle for a floating effect, I used two sets of Poinsettia dies for the flowers all are green and red mirror card I added gems for their centres I also added some flowers, berries and leaves in between, I the used my crop-a-dile for the punched holes to added the ribbon both bottom and top I added some bells to the bottom ribbon
At the moment it is hanging in my craft room which is my mum's room I have quite a few pictures of her and the family on the walls and it will be my gift to her this festive season, I think she is with me while I am crafting which is probably why I have still loads more cards to share with you in the coming days.
