Itâs my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge this week & weâre headed to a lovely site that also has an awesome Pinterest Board..Mackenzie-Childs. For my card, I was inspired by THIS wreath.
I really loved the gorgeous wreath so I went for a totally silver & white combo. I wanted a bigger wreath circle than the one in the wreath set, so I used a couple of circle dies for my wreath base. I die cut all the âgreeneryâ & sm. snowflake out of metallic silver &/or silver glitter papers. The poinsettias were die cut out of white glitter paper & the 3 little cardinals out of silver mirror paper. I used some thin silver cord to twine around the wreath & made a loopy bow for the top of the wreath. The greeting is from a large frame greeting, but I didnât ink the frame part. Since my wreath is good size, the card is also. It measures 6.5 x 5 so it fits in an A7 envelope. The white bg also is larger than the A2 sized rectangle die so I had to use my die resizing/extendingtechnique to make it larger. I thought the sides looked a little bare so I added a couple of strips of silver mirror paper to each side.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ closeups & product links: The Write Stuff

That is one gorgeous wreath. I especially like how the checkerboard ribbons balance all the other fluffy stuff. Your card belongs in Mackenzie Childs. I love all the layers you built for the wreath, but especially the cordage. The way it's woven around the wreath is very eye catching.

Julie, this is amazing! Wow!!! So full of details and texture and beauty. Wow. I really, really love this. Beautifully done and so inspiring.
I can't decide on what to do so I am going to go off to some garage sales and then come back and try - I am thinking checks. I almost bought a bowl so I am going to have to be careful! LOL. Hugz
