Modern Holiday Wreath

I pulled out the Filled with Joy dies from My Favorite Things again for the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  I used the dies as decoration for a kraft circle that I turned into a simple, modern wreath. 

The circle was cut with a pair of circle dies, one with a pierced pattern that adds interest to the simple shape.  I positioned the circle on a cream panel, using foam tape for dimension.  The red "j" and "y" were added to the bottom of the circle with a silver snowflake between them.  The center of the flake was dotted with a clear crystal.  After topping the wreath with a red gingham bow, I adhered the panel to a festive red card base.

Materials Used:
Filled with Joy and Pierced Circle STAX dies (My Favorite Things); Real Red cardstock (Stampin' Up!); Kraft cardstock (Papertrey Ink); Silver cardstock (Recollections); clear crystal (Darice); red gingham ribbon; Bow Easy; foam tape
