Arrange a Wreath for Valentine’s Day

I had to arrange a wreath for Valentine’s Day! After all, I’ve made one for Fall, a couple for Christmas, one for an anniversary and one for a birthday.  This Arrange a Wreath Bundle is for all seasons. I’m glad I purchased it when it first came out as it’s given me lots of opportunities to use it. Even if you haven’t bought it yet, I would say, “Go for it!” It will take you throughout the next year with cards for all occasions.

Super simple, and I’m loving the Blackberry/Purple Posy color combination with a touch of Gold. So pretty!

The design is self-explanatory, but I thought I might mention the sentiment in the white circle. I thought it would stand out a little better on white than straight onto the DSP, so I stamped then cropped it with a Layering Circle Die. If I were to make this card again, I would use a larger die than this. I’m not crazy that I can see the edges of the circle, so that is my recommendation. It wasn’t bad enough to tear it off and ruin the card, so for now, this one stays! Another after-thought is to cut it with a heart-shaped die! OK, options are good…

Have a nice weekend! We have been enjoying unusually warm weather (great for golfing) but are expecting rain this weekend and we need it desperately, so bring it on! See you next week!
