Double D Challenge: Fall Wreath


Hi friends!  Do you love a fall wreath?  I sure do, and that's our challenge beginning today at Double D!

Have a look at the beautiful inspiration board and a prize for a random winner:



The team has the difficult job of choosing creative winners.  You'll find more information on the Double D Challenge blog.

For today's card I cut a Tim Holtz Sizzix Funky Wreaths and decorated it with parts from the Cottage Cutz Fall Centerpiece.  I pulled a made-ahead embossed card base from my drawer o' card bases, added a strip of designer paper from The Vast Hoard, and an ancient Whipper Snapper sentiment.  Good to go!



All the coloring is ink blending with brushes, and I added Cinnamon Stickles to the flower centers.



I'm keeping it brief today as I'm running along to the next project.  Busy, busy!

I hope you'll find time to play along with us at Double D.  The team has some beauties to share with you, and I would love to see a gallery filled with fall wreaths!

Take care, and have a happy day!

I do enjoy it when a car just comes together like yours seem to. Just using ready made backgrounds and adding die cuts you made a fabulous card for this challenge. It has lots of color and texture and I love the flowers instead of just leaves.

Leslie, I have a very simple wreath on my front door made of 'faux' Bittersweet, but I love it just the same! You really did a great job of creating a gorgeous focal bouquet for yours and it looks so good with your pretty DSP!

Okay, I love fall most of all and the lovely colors that come with it, but that bright yellow sunflower is gorgeous!! The blended foliage colors with the touch of purple look amazing. Love that you tucked in a pumpkin too. Gorgeous wreath.

That is just beautiful, I love that you even added a little pumpkin in there with it, and pretty touch with the stickles. Love that embossing folder with it and the leaf border with it goes so well with the wreath!
