 | | For Falliday Fest Wreath Card:
Oh! I had FUN with this one!!! I didn't have a big enough round die, so I used octagon dies to cut the wreath frame and the cut out on the card base. Folded a 6 X 12 sheet of mercury glass cs in half for the base, cutting the half octagon out at the top to put the wreath. Cut 2 pieces of heavy white cs into octagon rings for the wreath base and mounted onto the card base backed with acetate for the window. Layered red and green mirror board and added as an accent at the bottom, embellished with red & gold poinsettia stickers and red Dazzle dots. Covered the wreath form with various green holly die cut leaves, and trimmed with red Dazzle dots. Added the Merry Christmas sentiment and the ornament sticker (and that's where the teensy green Dazzle dot is- center of the ornament!)
Now, the base used to be longer. I got typically carried away embellishing and adding, and originally below the green stripe at the bottom, there was an open section of the copper mercury glass, and then another stacked wider strip of the red and green mirror board with holographic red and green circles.
A. the card was WAY too massive
B. the card was WAY too busy.
Solved that by trimming off the bottom section and saving it for another day (why throw it when I will be able to use it?). That also explains why I'm not sure of the size, since I haven't actually measured it. I know that sucker has to be over 6 inches wide, since the base is 6 inches wide. Just not sure how tall it is now. Also, the mercury glass cs couldn't support the wreath and stand up until I hacked the bottom section off. It can stand now! |
