A Christmas wreath


Morning everyone, another Saturday means a new challenge at Allsorts where this week Mervi would love to see 'Christmas Flowers and Wreaths' along with the usual A/G option. Prizes this month come from Aldridge CraftsStampendous, and AALL and Create.

I love a Christmas Wreath, well any floral one really and this one using Highlights Seasonal Finishing Touches, a recent make for a Create and Craft show was perfect for this weeks theme. This collection proved so popular and sold out within hours of release with repeated sell outs since, but currently available and on special offer.

I used a really old 8x8 Tattered Lace Holly EF for the background and built up the wreath, lots of decoupage and some gold Tilsen in the centre of the Poinsettias.


Another one, this time using a embroidery hoop, the Poinsettias and Ivy again from Seasons Finishing Touches and a little Robin tucked among the foliage.

Happy weekend all.

Two really beautiful Christmas wreath cards - the first one is particularly sumptuous and using an embroidery hoop for the second one is a great idea

Wow B! Two absolutely stunning wreaths. Using an embroidery hoop was a stroke of genius! The depth in colours and dimensions are fabulous in both wreaths.

Due meravigliose ghirlande che mi rallegrano la mattina, Brenda! Il lussuoso fiocco della prima rende ancora più preziosi tutti gli splendidi elementi della ghirlanda. Le bacche sembrano davvero 3D!
E il pettirosso nel nido della seconda sembra pronto a cantare la sua splendida melodia. Dolcissima ghirlanda, più rustica ma non meno bella di sicuro!!
Ti auguro il meglio possibile per il weekend, cara Brenda! ...

What beautiful wreaths Brenda. Love the idea of the hoop, I have several that have parted company with their inner, so I'm inspired!! I can't tell you how happy I am to hear that Merlin the Grey will (fingers crossed) be joining your family soon xx
