My project today uses the gorgeous dies from the Aurora Blooms die set. I die cut several of the leaves from the set to create a festive sparkly wreath.
I made this card using an A2 card base from smooth white cardstock. I then trimmed down another panel of white cardstock and scored it at every 1/2 inch. Using distress ink I dragged the ink pad over the scored panel to create the look of wood and adhered the panel to the card base.
I then die cut several of the leaves from the stamp set from white, pink, and silver cardstock. Before I arranged them in the shape of a wreath, I used liquid glue and clear glitter to add sparkle to some of the leaves for that festive sparkle. When the glittered leaves were dry I adhered them in a circle with liquid glue. I only added a dot of liquid glue to the base of each leaf so that the wreath would have a dimensional look.
I then die cut the Cheers from the new CZ Design Little Banners wafer dies out of silver cardstock and added a little bit of white cardstock behind it. I popped it up in the middle of the wreath with a 3d foam square. I then die cut the bow from pink cardstock and added glitter to it just like the leaves and adhered it to the top of the wreath. To finish this card off, I added a few pink jewels.

  3. Your card is beautiful Barbra! It gives off a farmhouse chic vibe and being a country girl (I'm not a farm girl unfortunately, but I can pretend at my sister's) that is my kind of card. My sister would like it as well since she is the one who lives with farm animals in her yard. :)
