Tiny Leaves Wreath - GDP004

I'm excited to share this card with you today!  Over at the Global Design Project site, the challenge is to case the very talented Louise Sharp.  I remember pinning this card last year - it is so stunning!!!  So when this week's challenge was to case the designer (great idea btw!), I thought, "how do you case this and make it any better??"  Well, I can only try to make something my own and hope to inspire some of my readers!

 

 

The reason I pinned the card last year was because of the color combo.  I love the gold and neutrals and wanted to "case" that part for sure.  I also loved the simplicity of the look though I'm sure it wasn't quick to make.

 

And neither was this...

 

 

If you're wondering where all the leaves came from, take a closer look at the new Square Pillow Box thinlits.  I ran 5 different colors through 3x each giving me 45. I added a extra on the inside too.

 

 

 

I love the way it turned out!  I hope I made Louise proud - big shoes to fill!

 

My tips would be, 1-faintly draw a circle to give your wreath a nice shape as you glue down the leaves and 2-buy the adhesive remover!  I had a lot of sticky residue around the leaves from my Tombow glue and I am always amazed how much that magical square removes!

 

 

I will be back later in the week with more holiday inspiration.  I need the rain to hold off some to take more pictures.  (These pictures were taken in between rain showers!)

 

Thanks for stopping by!
