"WONDROUS WREATH"

Stampin' Up!'s Wondrous Wreath stamp set and the coordinating Wonderful Wreath Framelits dies are an awesome bundle of products!  Anxious to create something with these new products, I chose to make a Fall card.  I'm so excited for Fall but, for some reason, changing colors and falling leaves still seem too far away.  I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the pretty window, which was lined with Vellum card stock, and the Brick embossing folder is by Sizzix.  The wreath image was stamped three times, rotating the stamp because I wanted to fill as much of the white space as possible.  A wooden skewer was used to curl the three thin strips of card stock that were adhered to the die-cut bow, and then a flower was punched from Champagne Glimmer paper and placed in the center of the bow to add dimension, which was needed after the curly strips of card stock were added.  To make the embossed brick appear more prominent, I lightly sponged it with Soft Suede ink.  My finishing touch to the wreath was the addition of Gold Glitz Dazzling Details to add random glittery accents to some of the leaves.  Stampin' Up! products featured on this card include:
