Fall Wreath

Good morning!

These owls are so cute and I just love these fall colors and images!!

I circled some silk ribbon around and around the wreath loosely

imitating some real wreaths I've seen.

Find the materials list HERE

Card size:  4 3/4 X 6 3/4"

Make a shaped card with the Decorative Circle Frames outer die (see video) on a folded 5 X 7 heavy weight card by hanging the die over the top of the fold by about 1/4".  Cut another front from ivory and 2 from light gold colored decorative paper with the same die. Glue ivory on card front then 1 of the light gold decorative paper die cuts.  Glue the other decorative paper die cut inside card, trim as needed.  Cut the rust frame by using the large decorative part of the die with the large outer die together.  Cut just the decorative die from gold color.  Cut a light gold decorative paper large circle.  Glue the rust frame onto front of card then pop-up gold color decorative die cut.  Glue the decorative paper circle in the center. 

For the Wreath: Die cut outer and inner Seasonal Wreath from, gold color cardstock, stamp, die cut and color the apples, sunflowers, single owl, leaves, acorns, grapes, wheat stocks several times each (except owl) using Tuxedo Black.  Stamp Rustic Sunflowers (smallest only) using Peanut Brittle then sponge with Sunflower, die cut then shape in the mold.  Glue 2 together for each flower (5 flowers total) then fill centers with Redland Elements.  Glitter the flowers, lacquer the leaves, apples and grapes.

Arrange leaves, acorns, grapes, apples, wheat stocks and sunflowers around wreath leaving space for the bow at the top.  Circle ribbon all the way around wreath front to back to front until you get back to the top.  Attach both ends under the wreath base then glue a bow at the top.  Attach form strips all the way around wreath in the back then attach wreath to the card center.  Add the wise owl with glue and foam dots or strips to the bottom of wreath.

Finish by adding some copper Nuvo drops here and there on the wreath and glitter the card base.

Thanks for visiting today!
