I added the sticks from the Woodland wreath and drew in a bit of checkered ribbon (hard to find but it is in there). When I was done, it needed something, so I stamped some flowers and fussy cut them to add to it and I also added some silver dots. I didn't know what to do about the background so I just lightly painted some wood planks keeping it soft, so it didn't take away from the wreath.
My Sister gave me this wreath image. I wouldn't have normally purchased it as I am not fond of only green wreaths, but I really do like it. Kind of sad that CTMH is closing. Always hard to watch another crafting giant close down especially one that encourages new crafters to be addicted like all of us.

This is beautiful and I love the added sticks and flowers. I make a lot of wreaths and would have a very hard time if I had to buy one from this site. They're all so pretty.

Lovely wreath ... love the popped up flowers, too.

It must be nice to be able to add any element you want to your creations with just the stroke of your brush, Nancy. You are so talented! I love your subtle checked ribbon and your planked background is perfect. Your fussy cut flowers add beautiful texture to your gorgeous wreath.

I had to go back to look for the checkered parts, and took a really good look at how wonderful that wreath is! Love the flowers you added. Such a pretty card, mf.

I love all kinds of wreaths and this one is so pretty, love your coloring and the adding of the flowers gives it a great feel of dimension and pops of color to it, great job on that subtle background too!
