Wreath Cards

  Here's the first of my wreath cards.  So happy to have FINALLY figured out how to make these wreaths -- added a link on the side of my blog under the tutorial section.
This photo doesn't quite capture it as there is a whole cut in the middle of the wreath and the sentiment is actually stamped on the inside.  The front cover isn't laying flat in the picture so it looks off-centered.

Since I ran out of gingerbread men, I used the above and below card fronts to put a wreath on instead....the first one has several layers as it took a little bit to figure out that you place the branches OVER the previous ones instead of UNDER them!

  I saved my favorite one for last. For this one I used a piece of music from an old book as a background and added a "joy" sentiment (Studio G) to the side on the velvet red ribbon.

I made two each of both the top and bottom one ---six more cards added to the Christmas card stash!

Here's some great cards on Splitcoast that inspired me:

1. White Christmas (must try this wreath in white!)
   
2. Wreath with Bird
3. Christmas Wreath
4. A Cased Wreath
5. Love For Christmas (This card inspired my third card -- using multiple colors!)
