I know hers is a Christmas card, but wreaths can be used all year long so I figured it would also work as a Birthday card. This is a Tent Topper card, the base is 4.25 x 8.5" scored in half. Then you attach the circle so that the top over hangs the edge and it measures 5.5" total!
I used one of my favorite colour combos, because I know Sue likes it too! The card base is black, with a layer of cherry cobbler and then a layer of very vanilla. I embossed the vanilla with the square lattice embossing folder and sponged the edges with Tim Holtz antique linen #ok that's not SU!#
The black circle is 3" punch, the cherry is a circle nestie, and the vanilla is a 2.5" circle punch. The wreath branches were made with old olive & the 2 step bird punch. The little flowers were made with the bitty punch. I made the brads sparkle a little by first coating them with black embossing powder and then iridescent ice embossing! The ribbon is the black taffeta, love that stuff!
To balance it out, I added the strip on the bottom with the sentiment from Warmest Regards. The flower here is slightly bigger, I used the 3 flower punch for this one.
