This design was, in retrospect, probably a bit ambitious for someone with vision problems . . . I did start by drawing a circle to guide the placement of my first pine sprigs but even so my wreath tended to go quickly out of round- lol - also it took at least 3X more pieces than I had originally anticipated (and 3 more hours) -BUT overall I am thrilled with the outcome and I didn't even lose the tittle today! I will be back later today to comment on the gallery when my vision clears.

This is stunning! I am so impressed that you continued on and added more. Sometimes, I just don't feel like die cutting more and more but it's the more that gives it the wow! This is so elegant. Sending you hugs and empathy as I too am struggling with eye issues. :(

Gorgeous contrast and such an elegant wreath! Be kind to yourself ... I completely understand card making with vision struggles. Let yourself enjoy, even if it must be slower. (((hugs)))

Linda, my hand hurts just looking at your gorgeous card. My punch for those little branches is hard to work, but you stuck with it, and the results are amazing. My guess........it may be one of a kind!!! Love it!
