Poinsettia Wreath

Since Susan's Christmas die sets are now available from Spellbinders, I decided to post another Christmas card.  The die sets used are: Woodland Wreath & Feathered Friends, Poinsettia, Pine Cone and Evergreen Bough, Winterberry & Mistletoe and Winter Bough & Evergreen Shrubs die sets.

The Woodland Wreath die set was used to die cut three wreath out of brown card stock.  They were attached to the card front.  

The Pine Cone and Evergreen Bough die set was used to die cut two pine cones.  They were die cut out of brown card stock, shaped and assembled using Bearly Art Glue.  Craft Snow was added to the tips.  Eight Evergreen Boughs were die cut, shaped and added to the wreath.  

The Winterberry & Mistletoe die set was used to die cut the Winterberry Holly.  They were brushed green then brushed with Crystal Clear Glaze to make them shiny.   Winter leaves were die cut using the Winter Bough & Evergreen Shrubs die set.  They were die cut using white card stock and colored with a green marker, leaving the edges white.  All the foliage was shaped using the Deluxe Tool Kit.  Snow was added to some of the boughs.

The Poinsettia die set was used to create one red poinsettia.  It was die cut using Susan's Specialty Cardstock and was brushed with red ink, then shaped using the Tool Kit.

The poinsettia and pine cones were glued to the wreath over the evergreen boughs and other foliage.  Red berries, created by coloring bean bag Styrofoam balls, were glued to the foliage and a fine tip pen used to add a black dot on the end of each berry.  

The Woodland Wreath & Feathered Friends die set was used to die cut the Cardinal.  It was colored with markers and attached with dimensional tape.  

It is nice to have most of my Christmas cards made before the holidays.   

Thanks for stopping by today.
