I am on a bit of a floral wreath kick (like this previous card) Or maybe it’s a circles thing. Who knows. Anyway – here’s another take on a floral wreath card! This one uses the Ornamental Envelopes Bundle…which I have not yet used for envelopes…LOL
While the bundle actually has dies to cut out the flowers that are in the set, I chose to add in something different. I combined the Ornamental Envelopes stamp set with the Small Bloom Punch instead, as I wanted more substantial flowers – primarily to hide the gaps in my wreath!!
I stamped the branches bough three times on a 3.5″ piece of cardstock so they formed a circle. I used the brush end of my Petal Pink Stampin’ Write marker (from the Subtles Markers) to colour in just the largest of the 3 flowers on the stamp from the Ornamental Envelopes stamp set. I stamped the flower onto scraps of Whisper White and Petal Pink Cardstock, and then centered them in the Small Bloom Punch so they became the centre of the flowers. Use the punch “upside down” so you can see the image when you’re punching.
Once assembled, I used the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush to add a bit of sparkle to the flowers (you can kind of see it in the close up shot above). I was really pleased with how this project turned out! Perhaps when I get around to mailing it I’ll actually decorate the envelope as well!
I’m pleased to be able to offer a tutorial pdf package to those who place a $50 order with me (either via email or through the YamStamps Online Stampin’ Up! Canada store – shortcut yamstamps.com/shop), starting this month. These tutorials will be different than the ones that are part of the YamStamps Newsletters and also from the ones featured on Tutorial Tuesdays in the PaperCrafting with YamStamps FaceBook Group. I’ll include this Floral Wreath Card tutorial in the first batch going out later this month.
