Papertrey September Blog Hop Challenge

Hello! This month the Papertrey blog hop is all about creating or stamping wreaths. You can read all about it on Nicole's blog here.

I have a couple wreath stamp sets from Papertrey - "Wreath for all Seasons" and the "Birds and Blooms" Anniversary set, but I decided to create my wreath using the tiny little leaves in Mini Blooms.



 I began gluing each tiny little leaf to the base, and built up the layers. I debated whether to add berries to the wreath, and finally decided to use red sequins. I dyed some seam binding with a Copic marker for the bow, and added a little Tiny Tag cut out of wood veneer with a sentiment from Mixed Messages.




 I love how it turned out - so much dimension. Not sure I would go to all the trouble of cutting, stamping, and adhering all those leaves again, but I'm glad I did this one. Hope you enjoy it and the rest of the blog!
