The Technique Challenge today is to use dies to make a wreath. I used a pair of circle dies to make the basic shape of my wreath, then added all the other die cuts to it.
In fact, my entire card is made up of die cuts. The wreath ring was die cut out of kraft c/s & to add a little shine, I sponged it w/ Brilliance galaxy gold. I treated the little leafy vine & pine cones the same way. The little red flowers, red die cut bow, holly & greeting were coated w/ Wink of Stella & they really sparkle! The large candles were left open to let the paper show through & the greeting was attached under the wreath.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

This is so Christmassy!! Those colours are making me think so much of gingerbread and cinnamon and spices that I can almost smell them! I think your dainty wreath has a real Scandinavian feel to it.
