Heart Wreath

The Privilege Club kit this month from Craftwork Cards is based on wreaths - 2 each in 3 colour schemes and it includes the new heart shaped wreaths.  Here is my first creation:

There is ribbon in the kit but I used some of my own for this wreath.  The backs of all of the flowers were sprayed using Dylusions inks and I sprayed the finished article with gold Spray and Sparkle.  I must confess that I used all of the die cuts from this colour scheme as I like lots of layers on my blooms!

Here are a few close ups of the flowers:

Little Gift Bags

Another production line effort!  These were actually pretty quick to make as when I made the wreaths in my previous post I had sprayed too many flowers so I used them for the bags.

I spotted this paper at a Craftwork Cards sale back in June and it has been earmarked for these bags since then.

All lined up together:

 

One on its own:

I've filled all of these with chocolates now and they'll soon be with the recipients.

Christmas Wreaths

I've been very busy making 14 wreaths - do you ever start something and wish you hadn't?  They're all finished now though and I'm really pleased with them.

Earlier in the year Craftwork Cards sold some kits with all of the flowers, ribbon and chipboard rings needed to make these.  When I first saw these I though there was no way I could make them but then I saw a video on the Craftwork Cards website by the very talented Karen Hayselden.  After watching it and seeing everything broken down in steps I decided to have a go.

Popping out the die cuts and spraying the backs of them with Dylusions and Glimmer Mist inks was somewhat a marathon in itself.

Here's a picture of some of the finished ones piled up together:

Now some close ups of the flowers:

 

 

I wanted the wreaths to sparkle but I didn't want to use loose glitter as it gets everywhere so I used Spray and Sparkle Glitter Varnish in gold from Crafter's Companion.  It has given a lovely shimmering finish to the flowers and the ribbon.

 

 

I've also done some twelve little gift bags in the same colour scheme as the wreaths and will post these soon so please keep checking back!
