Pine and Holly Wreath with Gingham

Good Monday morning! I have gotten on a holiday card making roll this past few days. LOL! My project today was made using the Impression Obsession Twig Wreath, Bare Branch and Shaker Circle Frames set.

I cut the shaker circle frames and attached them to the card base with mounting tape. I cut the twig wreath and sponged it with vintage photo ink.

I cut the bare branch and several pine pieces. You can’t really see the bare branch in the photo because I used the branches to attach the pine to. I attached the branches to the wreath with glossy accents. I attached the multi loop bow with glue dots and then inserted several pieces of holly. I attached the wreath to the shake frame with glossy accents and applied a few tiny rolled glue dots under several sections of the wreath to hold it in place. Here are a couple closer side views to show the pine spray.

I like adding decorative frames around my main focal point. I think the large square gives a more finished look to the wreath and shaker frame.

Thanks for looking in today and I hope you have a great week.

Brilliant to add the frame around the focal point! I must remember to do this sometimes, too! And that is the happiest bow I’ve ever seen! Lovely Kittie ♥

I have them all….the dies….now to case your lovely card. I love the bright, fresh Christmas colors you chose…actually cooled things down for me all a rather hot morning. Of course, I’m still having my one cup of hot coffee…haha (I too love the frame. I need to use them more and you left me with another great idea.)
