Here it is, the end of June already! And time for another challenge. This week Lizzie Jones shows us how to create a stamped wreath by using a variety of small stamps and accents. You can watch the video here ➜ Make It Monday #289: Building Wreaths With Small Images.
I'm never good at making my wreath round, but like Lizzie, I drew a circle on my white cardstock paper to help place the stamps. I stamped the twigs/branches around the circle in Spring Moss and Simply Chartreuse inks and added the flowers in Pure Poppy ink and the hearts in Lovely Lady ink. The wreath still needed more filler so I added smaller flowers in Berry Sorbet ink and accents in Aqua Mist ink. To help shape the wreath, I continued to stamp small leaves in Simply Chartreuse ink.
I die-cut the heart three times in Pure Poppy cardstock, stacked and glued it together and stamped "True Love" on it in black ink. The sentiment is stamped in Smokey Shadow ink.
I have the new To The Edge Pointers and die-cut the bottom of the panel. The panel is on a Pure Poppy cardstock card base with a bit of white crochet thread tied around the top.

ReplyDeleteSo delicate and lovely! Just love your wreath.
ReplyDeleteFabulous wreath and colours, Lainey - but not only that, your use of the To The Edge Pointer die draws the eye down to the coordinated red cardstock base, tying everything up nicely!
ReplyDeleteSweet, sweet card Lainey! Love the bold red heart in the center and then the delicate flowers and leaves surrounding it...definitely a lovely anniversary card!! :0)
ReplyDeleteA little of this...a little of that. Isn't it amazing what a gorgeous wreath you can create if you have an eye for it?! And you have done just that...super! ;)
ReplyDeleteLainey, your card is so sweet. Your wreath is so pretty and I LOVE the layout using the edge die!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely wreath you created, Lainey! Pretty colors and sweet stamps
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done, Lainey, and perfect anniversary card, especially nice touch with the heart in the center. I had planned to use my new edger dies, too, but got lazy and didn't want to cut them apart last night.
