Spring Floral Wreath

Good Sunday morning!  I hope you are enjoying your weekend.  I sure am.  I want to share with you my Spring Floral Wreath that I made for the Saturday Splitcoaststampers Inspiration Challenge. The Inspiration site provided for the challenge was Kirkland’s and I was inspired by the wreath that you see in the picture below.

I wanted to recreate the  floral wreath with paper flowers and foliage but changed the color combination to spring colors.

I created the base for my wreath by using two Nestabilities circle punches. I embossed amethyst, regal rose, apricot appeal and spring moss cardstock to create texture and to punch out multiple flowers using the Martha Stewart Hydrangea punch and foliage using the Frond an Evergreen (retired) sprigs. The flower punch was made with one large and two small flowers.  I layered three large and one small flower to create each large flower. I attached the frond foliage to the circle to create the base of the wreath. I attached the large flowers on the wreath and then attached the evergreen foliage around the flowers to add a delicate texture and softness to the arrangement. I attached the small apricot flowers around to add one more element of color and texture. The final step was to add the Dotted Swiss multi loop bow.  I didn’t want anything to detract from the wreath so I used the scalloped white layer over the amethyst base. Check out my multi loop bow tutorial if you would like to know how I made my bow.

Here is a closer look at the wreath.

Have a fun and restful Sunday and I hope you get a chance to get creative.
