I have been thinking about the MIX challenge since Saturday. Yesterday, an idea finally hit me when I was looking on pinterest and saw this fun little wreath
I used a SB leaf die and cut it out about 30 times (cutting the 6 little leaves off each die cut) and started layering them around a wire I twisted into a circle 3 times around. The wreath came out kind of flat so then I made several leaf flowers and got the dimension I was looking for.
I have been looking for a great idea to make my Mom's Birthday card. I showed her the wreath on Pinterest and she said it would be hard to make one so she is going to be very surprised!

Reminds me of a wood carving in an old church! I love the way you included the little berries and beads. They add just the right amount of rich colour. This is a wonderful gift to your Mom. TFS
