A Christmas Wreath for Try Stampin On Tuesday #482

 This card, featuring a Christmas wreath, was made for the sketch challenge with Try Stampin' on Tuesday #482.  This challenge provided me with opportunity to play with the new stamp "Arrange a Wreath"



The wreath on the stamp set is a bit larger than expected, so the card size was changed to 5 by 7" so as not to overwhelm the card.

The wreath was stamped with Garden Green on Whisper White and fussy cut.  

Four large flowers were stamped in Real Red and die cut with a Wreath Builder Die. Small Daffodil Delight circles punched with the 1/8" Hand Held Circle Punch were added to the centers of these flowers.  The edges were sponged with Gold Delicata ink.  Before adding them to the wreath, they were shaped by pressing them with the Tombo glue lid.

Six smaller flowers die cut in Real Red card stock , were also shaped and added around the wreath as shown.

The berries made with the 1/8" circle hand held punch were added randomly around the wreath.

At the bottom of the wreath was added a double ribbon of organza Real Red ribbon.



A die cut circle with a sentiment stamped with Garden Green ink, was added to the center of the wreath and Holiday rhinestones added to the centers of each flower.

The base card is Garden Green, layered with Whisper White card stock embossed at the right side with the Greenery Embossing folder.

Adhered to this Whisper White layer, towards the left side is a  Heartwarming Hugs DSP notched banner.  The completed banner is added to the lower end of this banner using dimensionals.

To finish, Boughs die cut with the Beautiful Bough Die were added to the upper left and lower right sides.
