Welcome to today's TLC. We are wreath building today. I did use a stamp positioner for all of my cards.
This was totally an experiment. I think I messed with this a little too much but I'm not really unhappy with it. I'm never afraid to upload, just because I'm not sure about it. I had to adjust the stamps a bit because the largest flower was too large and not round. I stamped all the flowers after inking the stamp and then spritzing with water. I used a wet brush to draw the color around. I stamped the smaller flowers first in the picked raspberry, then the espresso truffle, then finally Versamark and embossed. Photograph doesn't show it very well. I felt I wanted some dimension so stamped a few butterflies on a discarded piece with some DOx sprays and embossed. Fussy cut them out and scattered them along with a few drops of the LP. For interest, I also added some Cosmic Shimmer powder in mink at the bottom. Of course I did that after the card was all assembled....not a good idea and I wished I hadn't.
Overall, not too bad, a little wonky but I don't think wreaths need to be perfectly round. It was a fun experiment.

Such a fun challenge. I love seeing which of my stamps are good at wreath making. I have played around a lot with this technique. Love this pretty one you have created and the added butterfly are sweet.

This is gorgeous Jean! I love the embossed flowers, this fabulous shade of purple, all these wonderful butterflies, and this amazing velvet ribbon bow. I like your splatters at the bottom of this card Jean- it adds some fun texture. ~Karen.
