Ivy Vine Wreath

Welcome Thursday and Dies R Us Friends!!

Diane with you today to hopefully inspire "YOU"

to get creative with the dies!!

I LOVE the Creative Expressions Sue Wilson dies

and after "seeing" Sue Wilson "herself" use this die

to make a wreath, I knew I wanted to make one as well!

To start, I first used two of the circle dies from

Memory Box Open Studio Circle Layers

to cut a "frame" of sorts to build my wreath on.

I can't draw a free hand circle,
so this was a very handy way to form my wreath.

By laying one circle die inside the other, I had an "open"

frame to work with, allowing the paper to show underneath!

I cut 3 of the Creative Expressions ivy vines from the

Greek Island Collection - Corner, Border, Tag die set.

I cut them apart in about 4 pieces each,

then sponging  shabby shutters distress ink on.

I arranged them on the frame, slightly gluing here and there

to allow the leaves to pop up!

The card seemed a bit plain, so I opted to add a few of

the ivy corners, pearls and a butterfly
cut from Joy! Crafts butterfly die.

Thank you for visiting with me today.....
