The background is a piece of dp printed with grey and brown bricks. It was too vibrant in colour for the wreath so I went over the dp with a thin coat of white gesso to mute the colours.
I created the wreath by die cutting a small ring using two circle dies, one slightly larger than the other. Then I used the good old Martha Stewart pine branch punch and punched many branches out of various dp that have grass on them (made for scrapbooking themes on various sports) - there is really nice colour variation in them that makes the wreath more pleasing to my eye than just plain green. I glued the branches to the die cut ring, overlapping them as I went.
I stamped a small sentiment on the dp, glued on the wreath, mounted the dp on fun foam, added it to the card base and finished off by adding a bunch of tiny red stick-on pearls for berries.

This is a beautiful card. Love the muted brick wall dsp, and your choice of colors for the wreath works so well. The verse in the bottom right is just the right size and font. Love it.
