Homespun Wreath - Dawn Heald

Hi everyone,

Welcome to day two of our wreath week, 

today it is Dawn's turn to show you what she has been up to!

Dawn says .....

I decided to try a different colour palette and the Kaisercraft

 Blubelle paper pad was perfect. This pad is useful for

 masculine makes too as well as pretty makes so a good

 all rounder to have in your stash.

For my wreath I've made a homesy feel decorated with

 flowers and a fairy. I do like my punches so gave

 them a dusting off and I really enjoyed putting this together.

To make this project here's what I did -

Choosing some darker papers from the pad I cut them up 

into small pieces and glued then around the polystyrene ring.

 Smaller pieces are easier to shape and glue around the

 ring. When dry I outlined pieces with a gold pen.

 Now this did take a long while to do but it was quite therapeutic.

For the decorations I chose some lighter papers from the

 same pad. Punched out flowers and butterflies, edged with

 ink and made up into roses. I die cut the ivy leaves and the

 fairy three times and inked the edges, then layered the fairy 

adding glitter glue to make her sparkle.  Glue

 them all to the wreath.

Beautiful Dawn, thank you!
