Instructions: Layered wreath made of Candlelit Christmas Collection papers is approximately 4 1/2". Die cut circle frame from paper collection using two circle dies from the Circle Basics Large die set. On the green paper from paper collection I stamped nine sprays of holly from the Glow of Christmas Cling Stamp Set. I cut them with the coordinating die from the collection. I put 6 sprays on the previously cut out circle, gluing one on top of the other. Then I added a layer of gauze and glued it. I covered the remaining sprays with leaf green ink and adhered them on top.
You'll need 4 poinsettia flowers. To create such flowers, stamp flowers on Art Foam with Archival Ink Jet Black ink, color with Oil Pastels and die cut with the dies from the collection. You will need 2 petals for each flower. Form with a hot iron. Make a hole in the middle and insert the gold stamens from HCS1-459-3 Assorted Bead Stamens-Medium. Add glue to each petal and bottom of the flower. The edges of the flowers are covered with white paint and sprinkled with Krystallos shard glass.
On Deluxe Flower paper I stamped and diecut holly leaves from the Christmas Poinsettia & Holly set. I colored them with Archival leaf green ink. I arranged two sets of holly leaves (large and small) on each side of the flowers and adhered. I whitened the whole wreath with bits of white paint. I decorated the wreath with blue stamens from HCS1-458-3 Bright Bead Stamens Medium, twisting 4 pieces together and tucked them under the flowers and adhered.
