Freida Wreath
by Sue McRae

Birthday, Butterflies, Flowers

Welcome everyone!

I am always fond of wreath dies because they are great for many occasions and can easily be changed for the different seasons. So I was happy to see a wreath in this new release, the Freida Wreath.

I die cut the wreath once from birch wood veneer paper and once from cherry wood veneer paper and layered them up for my card front.

To embellish the wreath I added flowers from the Daisy Cluster dies.

The large Hip Birthday Wishes die cut was glittered with Rock Candy Distress Glitter for a bit of sparkle and I added a few of the cute wee butterflies from the Butterfly Sprinkles die set.

For the background I used Color Bursts on water colour paper.

Leave a comment on this post to have a chance at winning the Freida Wreath and make sure to come back twice a day during the Blitz for more inspiration!

Happy Crafting!
