Floral Twig Wreath


Hello, fellow crafters!  Today I'm sharing a card I made for my sister-in-law's recent birthday. 

I began with creating the front panel using Taylored Expressions Bead Board embossing folder. Next, this was matted with GKD Sweet Corn card stock, the edges of which were inked with Distress Oxide Spiced Marmalade ink. A layer of GKD Kraft card stock was added to this panel and then all adhered to a GKD Pure Luxury White card base. This was put aside to work on the wreath and flowers.

The wreath was die cut from GKD Kraft card stock using  the IO Twig Wreath die. Three separate wreaths were cut, sponged with Distress Oxide Vintage Photo ink, and adhered together. Also, a base for the wreath was cut using 2 different size circle dies and the wreath was then adhered to the base ring.

The flowers were cut from GKD Sweet Corn card stock using a IO Spring Wreath die.  As you can see from the photo several flowers were cut to cover the wreath. The flowers were sponged with Distress Oxide Spiced Marmalade ink. The green foliage was cut from SU Garden Green card stock using a Poppy Stamps Leafy Sprigs die.

The wreath was positioned on the card's front panel with dimensionals.  The flowers and sprigs were then attached to the wreath using glue dots. The sentiment was computer generated, die cut using a die form the Cottage Cutz Cross Stitched Rectangle die set, and positioned on the wreath using glue dots. This completed my project.

Hope you enjoyed this post and stop by often.
