Today's IC is the fabulous site of LL Bean. I chose this wreath. It will be the ONLY one I make! It seemed to take forever!! I started by sponging Real Red onto the Ella & Vic dp (that's it in the background) from the Wedded Bliss series. Then I die cut a wreath 'frame' & punched the MS fern. Stamped & fussy cut some pine cones, stamped & die cut the bow. Then I assembled the wreath. I added some watered down white acrylic paint toothbrush snow & also sprayed with Ivory glimmer mist. I also purchased some gold glitter paper, added it behind.
Thanks Audrie for a fun challenge.
Thanks for stopping by.

I can't believe you arranged all those sprigs! What patience you have and how terrific it looks! And you can splatter- Ok next time we craft, that's on the to-do list! Beautifully done!

This is absolutely stunning! You did a marvelous job! I put one of this together last Christmas and I also stopped after just one! I lost patience! Haha.

Every time I look at that punch, I wonder why anyone would buy it. It looks like it took you all day. Things have to be fast, fast, fast around my house. You did a great job. You must have lots of patience.
