I die-cut it from patterned paper several times. I used a stylus and mat to shape my holly leaves, and then glued them around a ring die-cut from card stock using two sizes of circle dies. I used my small (1/16") hole punch to punch out some extra berries from red card stock and glued them on. A simple sentiment was stamped in red to finish the card. A QCAS card (quick, clean, and simple). :)

ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty wreath, Loll! I love that you used patterned paper for the holly leaves (I wondered, at first. how you colored the leaves.) and that you styled them with a stylus for added dimension. You placed each and every leaf perfectly on the ring die-cut and glued the tiny berries on the leaves. You do have great hands! Hideko xx
