Last week I was playing around with stamps to make wreaths. I die cut a 3 ¾ inch circle, stuck the negative in the MISTI, marked the area where the first image kinda landed and then I kept moving my inner circle focal piece around to stamp the complete wreath.
Here’s a picture that might possibly live up to the saying, a picture is worth a thousand words! lol
I did have to mask off part of one to fill in a space.
I colored/painted the flowers with Distress Oxide inks. I don’t know that I would use this ink to color very often. It tends to cover the black line you stamped if you’re not careful.
The sentiment is from the same stamp set and I used the coordinating die set to cut out the word sending. I did use the thin mounting tape behind the die cut word. Another set I love!
A little Lawn Fawn Trimmings twine and some black Nuvo drops and the piece was pretty much done. I cut a black piece of card-stock to 4 x 5 ¼ inch and mounted it to a top folding A2 card-base.

This card I stamped it the same way in the MISTI with the circle template I made but I stamped it so the black lines touched. There was a little bit of space left at the bottom so I punched a couple 1/8th inch holes, added a piece of ribbon and tied a bow.
This one I colored with Zig Clean Color Brush pens doing wet on wet. You can see what happens with that in the close up below! lol It flows! No artist here! lol
I didn’t use a very good quality watercolor paper…just use the good stuff Pam! haha
The sentiment is from a neat Memory Box set called Prayers Sentiments…I really like how you can put the words together to say what you want. There are several of these small sets. Good deal! ok – I’ll shut up!
