Arrange A Wreath
June 12, 2020
You know I love wreaths on my cards. I think they are so fun to dress up and they are great for different occasions & holidays. When I saw the new Arrange a Wreath bundle my first thought was, I want that but it can wait. Well, I looked at it again and realized it couldn't wait and just like that it was in my first order. I am so happy since it was the perfect bundle for me to use for the Festive Friday Challenge #FF0061.
I no longer have any citrus fruit stamps so i focused on using orange, yellow, and green from the Inspo list on my card for the challenge.
I made the wreath using both of the wreath dies, one in Shaded Spruce and the other in the new In Color, Just Jade. The flowers are in Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie. In the die set there are 2 dies for the larger flower and 3 for the smaller flower, yay! Having the extra dies makes it so much faster to make the flowers. The centers of the flowers are from the Elegant Faceted Gems.
I added the heart also from the Arrange A Wreath bundle to the center of the wreath, adding another item from the Inspo List, sweet sentiment. I cut out 2 hearts one in Pumpkin Pie and one in Daffodil Delight. On the Pumpkin Pie heart I added a piece of Foam Adhesive on the back behind the letters, you could also use dimensionals. I then layered the letters from the Daffodil Delight heart on to the exposed adhesive.
The background is one of the Many Medallions die. Before I die cut I put a piece of Adhesive Sheet on the back of the Whisper White cardstock. This is a double-sided adhesive and is very handy to use to adhere intricate die cuts.

Want to play along with the challenge? All you have to do is pick 3 items from the Inspo List to use on your project. Post your project on the Festive Friday blog by Monday June 22 8 pm CST. I look forward to seeing what your creation in the gallery!
Oh this is beautiful Sharon! You've used one of my favourite colour combinations and I love the wreath against that intricate die cut background. Vicky x

Beautiful, Sharon! Like you, I no longer had any citrus sets, so I concentrated on colors, too. Great tip on using the Medallion die with the adhesive sheets! I also love how you created the heart. Have a wonderful weekend!
