I love making wreaths with my Martha Stewart pine branch punch. I use various decorative papers that feature grass on them. There's enough variegation in the colours that it makes the sprigs of the wreath more interesting than just plain green.
The base for the wreath is a thin circle made by cutting with two sizes of Spellbinders circle dies. I glue the punched sprigs around the circle base, overlapping them for fullness.
For this card, I created a background with a brick wall stencil and embossing paste. Added the wreath and stamped a sentiment and popped the panel up on fun foam. I embellished the wreath with a bow made of a green / gold ribbon and added gold gemstones to the wreath. Usually I add red gemstones to represent berries, but the ribbon I used for the bow inspired me to keep to a green and gold colour scheme.

Susan, this is beautiful and I love the different greens in your wreath. The wreath looks great on the brick wall.
