I saw an inspiration photo and chose to use a die that I have never used, but has been in my binder for a year. I cut the wreath twice from two slightly different green card stock and layered them. I thought red glitter paper would certainly show the season and then went searching for a patterned background. It's great to have scraps until you run out. LOL
I glued the wreaths together, then glued the "Season's Greetings" onto the wreath so I could work with some Nuvo drops for a festive look without being concerned about the paper underneath. I did use some light blue Nuvo Drops, but they didn't show up that well, so went with white, red and some pumpkin for the rest.

That wreath is stunning, Arlene! Love how you translated the pom-poms into decorations - looks lovely. Thanks for joining Hilary and me at Christmas Kickstart, Jo x
I love that wreath, I am so glad you have now used it. I hope it gets some more outings this year. Love the idea of nuvo drops for the baubles, it works really well. Your red die cut sentiment works beautifully with the green. Thanks for joining us at Christmas Kickstarter this month, I think it is hard to resist that inspiration photo xx
What an awesome card. I love it so much. Great job.
