I stamped the wreath onto Pure Luxury White, colored it with Copics (YG93 and YG97 for leaves, and just a touch of Y00 and Bg000 on the white flowers to make them stand out from the white background), and die cut and embossed it with the Nestablities Blossom die. I added nine 3 mm pearls to the flower centers and popped it up over the white mat embossed with Swiss Dot to match the pearls.
Card base and punched fancy corners are Fresh Asparagus and black 5/8" gingham is Pure Luxury. I love white, black and green together, so fresh! :)
