... Cherry Blossom from Spellbinders.
It makes you think of summer months and beautiful pink and white flowers.

It is a very useful die for your crafting "Stash" in it's own right and it will make some beautiful additions to my cards as the weather warms up again.
But because of the cost of these dies I didn't want to waste it in the winter months ... so it has to work for me to get more from any die that I buy.
So on went the thinking cap and this is the result....
A Christmas Wreath
A Christmas Wreath
I have cut lots of the branches in all the sizes and I have added Glamour Dust to each one to represent ice.
I used the middle sized flowers, cut in two shades of red and layered up, alternating the shades, and each has a tiny Diamante in it's centre.
I found some red and white gingham ribbon in my "Stash" which fit the bill perfectly, and the bobbly cord was added underneath.
I layered up two co-ordinating papers and used the ribbon and bobbles to cover the join then added the bow with a gemstone to cover the knot.
They have been matted and layered onto Kraft Card.
The sentiment was stamped onto a circular card and then the branches arranged around the circle ... cutting them if needed to make them fit to create the wreath.
I dotted the layered flowers in the branches and glued the bow in place.

So this will be going to somebody this year to wish them a very Merry Christmas
