Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I'm hopping with a great group of demonstrators from around the world. It's our Crafty Collaboration Share it Sunday blog hop. I'm sharing a framed piece of artwork I made with our Wreath of Blooms kit.
You aren't going to believe how easy this was to make! I put the basic kit together in about 30 minutes. The kit comes with all these flowers, except the daisy, and most of the leaves. The picture below shows the actual kit and how it would look it you made it right out of the box. Below, I have listed links to all the supplies I used to make mine.
Obviously, I decided to alter this kit and turn it into a framed work of art! The first thing I changed was the So Saffron flower in the lower left part of the wreath. I really didn't like this flower and it also didn't fit in the frame. It was too tall. Instead, I punched 3 daisies with the small daisy punch out of So Saffron cardstock, adhered them together and added a black center to match the other 2 flowers.
I discovered Garden Green and Pear Pizzazz card stock matched the leaves in the kit, so I cut some extra greenery with the Forever Flourish dies. So Saffron cardstock was also used to cut a greenery stem to balance off the So Saffron flowers already in the kit.
The butterfly was cut with a die from Brilliant Wings out of a Cajun Craze design from the He's the Man Designer Series Paper. Plain Cajun Craze cardstock would also work. This background paper is from the Regency Park 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper pack. I had to mount this piece on a 8" x 8" piece of Petal Pink cardstock because my frame is 8" x 8", and the designer series paper wasn't large enough by itself.
Before I decided to frame the flowers, I tried a couple of different ideas. Below is the chipboard wreath wrapped all the way around in burlap ribbon.
As you can see, this kit is very versatile. If you live in my area (Tallahassee, Florida), I'm offering this class next week at my in-person classes. Here's the link with all the information.
