The longer I worked at this wreath, the bigger it got. I kept having to go back and make more leaves and flowers... I sponged the leaves while they were still in the die, diecut the flowers, stamp them with the Heartfelt Creations poinsettia stamp, colored with copics and then use the stylus on the backs to emboss. I glued it all together and this is what I got. A very large poinsettia wreath... I then realized I didn't give it a bow or ribbon, see..... too many flowers, lol. I don't really use ribbon a lot, I like cards that are easy to send in the mail... This will not be one of them...
