Day 18 - Wreaths

I love wreaths.  I love drawing them, stamping them, colouring them and decorating them.  I also love making them and hanging them in my house at Christmastime.  My favourite kinds of wreaths are the ones that are made of bare branches that have been woven together and then decorated with berries or buttons.
 
I made this card with a gorgeous Memory Box die I picked up at the Brisbane Craft show in October.  I cut six of the shapes and layered them together to form the wreath base then decorated with some self-adhesive pearls.
 

YOUR TURN: Use items from your stash to create a wreath card.  It doesn't have to be a wreath to begin with, you can build up a circle with stamps, die cuts or punches and then decorate it with pearls, rhinestones, buttons or anything else you have on hand.
Upload your creations here.
