Happy Labor Day weekend to our American friends and Happy Weekend to our around the world friends! Christi here from Scrapping For Tranquility, making a fall wreath for my Design Team Post here at Printable Cuttable Creatables using the Fall Flower Flourish Group SVG File
Here is my project:
I started with a foam wreath form from Dollar Tree. (Love all the craft supplies they carry now! It saves me a lot of money!)
As I wrapped it in a brown ribbon, I was already liking how it looked, it just needed something else. We decided on a second ribbon, but thinner would look better, so I used a gold ribbon from my stash. Wanting to get my pieces made, I made my bow next.
I didn’t have any wired ribbon that matched the colors of my fall wreath, I used this pretty red ribbon with gold sheer. I wanted to make it a little fuller to make it feel more like a wired ribbon so I brought out my Bowdabra. I bought this years ago but this was one of those tools that really intimidated me.
Why? I have no idea since it was so easy to use once I watched their video on their website. Anyhow, I really loved the fullness I got out of plain non wired ribbon. What do you think?
Next, I wanted to make my flowers, leaves, acorns, berries and swirls. I used my Cameo3 to do this. I used all American Crafts and Bazzill Cardstock from 12×12 Cardstock Shop.
I was not really happy with it being one dimensional. So I used a flower ball to roll over the petals and leaves to soften the cardstock to make it softer and more shapeable. This allowed me to make my flowers 2 dimensional and to add flat back pearls for my centers.
Last but not least were the 3 shades of berries. It added such a nice touch to the spray but it just needed something compared to the flowers. The pearls I used were Rainbow Mixed Size Pearls by 12×12 Cardstock Shop.
