I'm sure you've seen variations of this card lately – I got the inspiration from LNS who was inspired by someone on SCS – I didn't write down the names – sorry! Edited to include the names of the original artists: They are Melissa Riker from LNS and Ali Watson from SCS. Thanks for the inspiration! I wanted to participate in this week's challenge at Pals Paper Arts and I thought this card would be perfect for it.
Punch out a circle on post it note (I used the 1" circle punch) and center it on the card. The base card is 5 1/2" x 5 1/2". Stamp the image (Pocket Silhouettes) around the circle until you get the desired effect. Remove the post it note and you have the perfect circle. Add rhinestones randomly on the wreath and add a small bow. I also scored around the card twice about 1/4" apart – I don't think you can see it in the photo.
Thanks for stopping by!
