AH 266 - Floral Wreath Birthday


Welcome to Week 266 at Atlantic Hearts! 

A wreath can be used for any occasion - and a birthday is as good an occasion as anything else! The wreath was cut from the Flower Market cartridge - twice for layering purposes. The flowers and leaves all come from the Beautiful Friendship - Scrapbooking stamp set and were all fussy cut. I don't very often ink the edges of anything any longer but I did with all the flowers and leaves, just to make them stand out a little bit more. I also brushed the darker lines with the Clear Shimmer Brush but that isn't noticeable in the photo here. Gems were placed in the centre of each flower - either from the Make Waves collection or the Gold Pearls. 

The sentiment is from a retired stamp called Balloon Wishes.

  2. Hi Alyson,

    Ohhh I wish I had a wreath cut like this! It would be so versatile, as you said. I can’t believe you fussy cut each of these blooms out! What a pretty card in the end. I do wish I could see the shimmer - but I’m squinching my eyes and just KNOW its there! Sometimes its hard to capture with a camera. I hope you have a creative weekend.

  3. What a very pretty card Alyson. I love the Beautiful Friendship Stamp. I can't believe you fussy cut each of those flowers. You have such patience. I'm sure who ever receives this card is going to LOVE it. Take care
