Fall Wreath - Friday Mashup #26

The challenge:  to make a fall-themed project.

Since I am a vendor at a 3 day craft show this coming weekend, I made 2 rosette wreaths to sell.
This is one of them

I hung this wreath on my back door to take this picture - just to check how sturdy it was, as it is made entirely out of paper - with the exception of the embellishments.

Stamp: Autumn Spendor
Paper: Autumn Spice, More Mustard, Chocolate Chip, Pool Party, Garden Green
Inks: More Mustard, Cajun Craze, Old Olive, Versa mark
Accessories: 1 1/4" striped chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon, Victoria Crochet ribbon, Spice cake designer buttons, Regal buttons, antique brads, basic glitter brads, Boho blossom punch, Scallop circle punch, 1" circle punch, 1 1/4" circle punch, Stampin up Scoring Tool, clear embossing powder, smooch

The leaves & acorns were made by stamping them with the ink colors noted, then clear embossing the images, and then cutting them out.
