Have you noticed the All Around Wreath bundle in the annual catalog? Click here; it's quite the gem! So many occasions are covered in the greetings and die-cuts.
Marilyn made this pretty Christmas themed wreath for our Team Christmas card swap.
She chose to use two shades of green here; Mossy Meadow with Pear Pizzazz along with a few touches of Gold. The pears are heat embossed in Gold powder as well as the shimmery thread.
Other details:
The greeting is die-cut with the Hippo & Friends dies seen here
The Vanilla layer is textured with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder
She used the same wreath die-cut but in two colors, separating them slightly on the card.
It's a double-decker fun fold card. It might look hard but it sure isn't! All you need to add is a simple box between the middle layer and the inside back of the card. Watch the video here to see how it's done.
Using our Blending Brushes I added the three colors (Tahitian Tide, Brilliant Blue & Gorgeous Grape) to a piece of White cardstock. I then used the Garden dies to die-cut it out. I adhered this to the back of the card base before adding the 'box' to create the double-decker fun fold card.
I created a second colorful die-cut so I could add extra details to the cards.
I think it's stunning. Don't you love the pretty blending of the greens? I simply added one color to the finished die-cut. I cut it out from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and added Pretty Peacock ink with a blending brush in a few areas. Easy!
I was surprised that the finished color (after adding Pretty Peacock to Lemon Lime Twist) was close to Shaded Spruce. Who knew?! So I added a 1/4" strip to the left edge of the card to bring in that color and also stamped the greetings in Shaded Spruce too.
Tip: Adding your colors in two or more ways to your project gives them a cohesive look. For example if I use green card stock I will add a layer of green or a stamped image. If you struggle with choosing color combinations stick with just two colors. Or better yet try a monochromatic card – add one color to a neutral like white, browns or black.
I added a stitched circle to the left side to anchor the greeting. Both of these dies are from the Stylish Shapes dies; they're a must have!See them here.
