I decided my festive greenery would be in the manner of a layered wreath.
- Base composed of a tan layer and a darker brown layer of Gina Marie Wreath Die set.
- Next layer from a snippet of green DP - Gina Marie Leaf Die
- top layer also from a snippet of c/stock: Poppy Home for the Holidays Wreath die
- ribbon cut from Impression Obsession DIE026-0 (Fancy Ornament Die) [snippet]
- Sentiment: Frantic Stamper (FRA-DIE-09650) [snippet]
White Stitched square (don't remember what company), then traced the die to create the green faux mat.
- holly background paper, more festive greenery.
- used some VOS of sticker circles to add some holly to the wreath...and called it done!!!
