Here is another wreath on a beautiful stained glass window. I cut 4 of the lattice frames out of this pretty no mess glitter c/s to get and use all the chads to make this pretty stained glass window. Another frame is cut out of black c/s, and adhered to a base piece of black c/s. A design was chosen and all the pieces were glued down. This dried under some heavy materials to keep flat.
The window opening was cut from a 5x7 card base to fit the 4 1/4x 5 1/2 lattice frame. Acetate was adhered behind this opening. The stained glass part was then adhered behind the acetate.
The wreath is made on a circle base that has been cut with Nesties. I adhered the red wired jewels first by wrapping them around the circle. Then all the pine boughs are adhered. These have been punched from the front and back of the pretty shimmery paper to get the boughs going in both directions. There's about 60 boughs, give or take a few. Then the little red berries are added. These are cut with a small circle punch. The red bow is Cheery Lynn and id doubled, with the back one being only the bow part.
It's persnickety, but the end result is well worth it!

This card sure is stunning. I am thinking about doing a wreath, but not with the same punch. More with a punch I don't have to make as many of. The colored sparkle c/s looks great behind the lattice and probably even prettier if the clear covering could be seen.

Wow, Jennifer. You are the Queen of Precision and Patience. You laid each tile so perfectly. The rest of us mere mortals would have at least a few slightly off. your workmanship is amazing.
