Funky Wreath

This festive wreath is made from Gina K's "Funky Christmas", very simple to make, look!

Place something round in the middle of your paper as a guide, here I'm using a Nestabilitie. Stamp one of the large flakes all the way around (Always Artichoke) in a single row

Remove your circle and go back in stamping a snowflake between each pair on the outside row to make a smaller ring inside. If you have some bare spots, just fill in stamping more if necessary until your wreath is nice and fluffy.

I tied a little bow with my 1/4" grosgrain, leaving the tails long and twisted and adhered the ends in the places I wantted with glue dots. Then I added Christmas Red Stickles in little clusters of three, with both big and small dots in each group, all over the wreath. That beautiful shimmery red paper you see below is Incandescent Rosso again, from Paper Temptress.

Last I stamped "joy" in the center from "Seasonal Sayings" and traced that with Stickles as well. I nothced out the corners of my Gina K 80lb white paper with the corner ticket punch and added some SU! artichoke brads before attaching it to the Incandescent Russo paper and then the Artichoke base. TIP: I love putting round images or focal points onto square card bases, the proprtions are so beautiful.

You could adapt this design to an ornament by stamping it onto a painted wood circle, wouldn't that be sweet? Have a beautiful day!
