I have seen a lot of punch wreaths in different styles in the SCS gallery and when I read Julia's challenge today I figured today was the time to try a few, besides, I need cards for my CCC09 challenge for June too. I picked two different styles - one using the tiny 5 petaled flower (one of SU's punches I forget which one) and a simpler one using SU's scalloped circle punch and a smaller circle punch to cut out the middle.
I added 'ornament' brads to the scallop circle wreath (thinking about adding Stickles to them for extra bling - what do you think?) and knew they would not work with the wreath made of tiny flowers. I could not decide if I liked the look of the metallic Dew Drops on the wreath so I made yet another one so I could see it both ways.
So, which is your favorite?
Thank you for taking time to look at my cards.

June CCC09 - haven't even thought about it yet!!
These are great - personally I prefer the more fiddly ones with the little flowers, and of those I definitely prefer the one on the left. But that's the magpie in me - I can see that the clean look of the unadorned one is also very attractive.

Awesome cards! I love these. I like them both and I could do either one as I have the supplies. However, I am drawn to the scallop circle one. Why? Not sure - maybe because it might be a little faster to put together. It's summer break for the kids, so I'm doing fast and easy. Also, it looks a little more poilished perhaps? Either one is just super duper! BTW, this is a great Clean and Simple design. You could put CAS in your keywords. Hint, hint These are beautiful. Great job! TFS your creativity. Good job on working the double challenge!

Wow, these are so clever & simple, but the cards all look so finished. Fantastic ideas for all. I think I like the first, but REALLY, all three are just great. TFS.
