Hello everyone. I have a card to share that I have been procrastinating over for the past few days. I finally managed to decide on how I wanted the wreath to look:
The starting point for my card was the top row of the current challenge at Tic Tac Toe – wreath – foliage/leaves – stencil.
The background is using a Simon Hurley stencil received from a recent virtual event, and also using his Unicorn Horn Lunar Paste. Whilst this panel was drying, I searched through the CML app for foliage, branches, leaves, poinsettia and holly, and picked out three or four of the Spellbinders die sets I have.
I used a few shades of green for the foliage, a brown for the branch dies, red for the poinsettia layers, and I used silver glitter card for the holly leaves. Once all die cut, and the back panel was dry, I created a circle frame using some nesting circle dies and stuck that down, so I had something to follow when arranging all the elemnts.
The branches and leaves were glued down – just the tips so there was movement and dimension, then the poinsettias attached with a little circle of 3D foam, the holly leaves added lastly.
Silver gems were glued to the centre of the flowers, then the silver foiled sentiment from Lawn Fawn – stacked a couple of times – was glued down to the bottom of the card.
Lots of glitter and shine on this card, and I’m so pleased I actually managed to finish it…
I shall be entering the following challenges:
Tic Tac Toe – top row – wreath – foliage/leaves – stencil
Die Cut Divas – anything goes with die cuts
A Cut Above – anything goes with die cuts
12 Months of Christmas Link-up – anything goes Christmas – option of snowfall taken

Love the combination of evergreen boughs, twigs and poinsettia to create your beautiful wreath. The sparkle of the holly leaves is an added bonus. Thanks for joining us at Die Cut Divas.
