This is for two challenges. The TLC was to use something other than a wreath die to make a wreath. I have had the idea for this wreath in my head for a couple of days. I love that purple paper. The second challenge is the QFTD where Susie Nelson is our queen this week. I had fun looking through your gallery Susie. This was my inspiration Daydream Wreath - Stamp Class 9/13 by susie nelson at Splitcoaststampers.
I always struggle with what to adhere satin ribbons with. I used a glue dot and it shows. If I use an ATG gun it shows. It's aggravating. Any wisdom to pass onto me?

Lovely wreath made from those glittering lavender snowflakes. The few silver ones add the spark. Scor-tape comes in different widths and one might be close to the width of your ribbon....I use it often. You can also cut the tape narrower(not always the easiest thing to do).

Sylvia, this is soooo pretty! I love the sparkly purple paper and the addition of the silver sparkle adds quite a bit to the wreath and card! Perfect in every way!

Oh I just love purple & silver! Very pretty card! My suggestion for adhering ribbon is I just put adhesive on the back & pull the ribbon as tight as i could. If I wanted it not to be so loose, I would use double-sided tape. One suggestion to help cut it if its too wide is to use backing paper (like from leftover sticker sheets) and put the tape on that before cutting it. Hope that helps!

The sparkly silver and purple are so pretty together. IRL I bet this is awesome!
