I was trying to come up with a card for this sketch and saw the piece of green patterned paper from the retired Ski Slope. I thought it would make a nice little wreath and after that the rest just fell into place! I couldn't resist breaking into one of my NEW stamp sets! Joyous Celebrations will be available next month and features images that fit perfectly into ovals or circles! I used one of the sentiment stamps in the center of the wreath.
To make the wreath, I used two scallop punches. I find that it is much easier to punch the smaller scallop first, then line up the larger punch around the 'hole' left by the first punch. A few colored rhinestones and a little bakers twine bow finished it off nicely!
Thanks so much for stopping by to visit today! I hope you have a wonderful day and happy crafting!
