A Thankful Wreath for CCMC266

It's Thursday and time for a new challenge at Create with Connie and Mary.  This week we have a fall color challenge to work with.


I have been into Halloween cards lately, but theses colors need a Thanksgiving card.  I haven't gotten any new Thanksgiving sets yet, so I went with punch art and simplicity. 

This is most definitely a clean and simple card!  I wanted the wreath to take center stage, so I went with a simple Whisper White base card.  Here's the details:

1. Paper pierced the shape of the largest framelit from Apothecary Accents to frame the wreath.

2.  Made the wreath using the leaf from the Bird Builder Punch.  I punched out a bunch of each color of card stock so the building process would go faster.  I put just a dab of Multi Purpose Mono Adhesive glue on the back of each leaf and started layering on the card stock ring I made using Circle framelits.  This is the first wreath like this that I've done and the process wasn't as long as I expected it to be.  The wreath is attached with dimensionals to make it pop a little.

3.  Stamped Happy Thanksgiving from Teeny Tiny Wishes in Tangerine Tango and backed it with Chocolate Chip.  It is adhered directly to the card stock.


That's it!  Clean and simple!  I really do enjoy doing this genre of cards, especially with these beautiful bold colors against white!

Go to Create with Connie and Mary to participate in this week's challenge with us.  Be sure to check out the fantastic preview projects, you can still sign up for the Fall Collection 2013!


If it doesn't move...stamp it!!
