I chose to use the colours & white woodwork for my card.
The wreath didn't start out like this. I spent a long old time winding the twine tightly around the ring before deciding it was too staid & boring. So I spent what seemed like even longer unwinding it again. I then applied adhesive to both the front & back, then made as if to wind but trimmed to the right length instead. That wasn't quick either!
Periodically things began to look a little more shaggy than intended, so some impromptu shearing took place as I went.
The 'woodwork' is simply strips of card laid down at intervals. I used the corner of my scoreboard to ensure that everything lined up square (having spent a while making sure it had all been cut squarely in the first place... NOT a forte of mine).
And yes, the sentiment does bear more than a passing resemblance to a PTI greeting but I don't have it as a stamp, so had to improvise.
Given yesterday's definitions, I think this would fall in the 'clean & layered' camp.

Your wreath turned out excellent!! Beautiful card. Thanks for joining us this week at The Card Concept :)
ReplyDeleteWow. It is obvious how much effort you put into this card...what a smart idea to use the twine and to clip it to give it a really nice and interesting texture. I know I am not an expert in style, but I actually think this is also Classy and Elegant. The wreath is "regal" looking to my eye!
ReplyDeleteI love your wreath! I thought you had crocheted it from a pattern. Your actual construction sounds like something I could do. (Now if I actually have the patience or skill... not sure!) Great card!
