Another Christmas wreath

Hallo,
   Very early this saturday am - craft fair day so wish me luck!!! I have an outside booth this year because I was a little late signing up, so I am really glad the weather is nice and cool and not raining!!!!
  Another wreath to show you today - again all the leaves were cut using Spellbinders and sizzix leaf dies out of papers from my scrap drawers . The plain cardstock ones I ran through texture folders - herringbone, Christmas ornaments, swirlys, flourishes.....
  All the stamps - letters and the poinsetta aref rom Flourishes and colored with copics. I strung the letters onto a gold ribbon.
  I am entering this in this weeks Tuesday challenge over at Flourishes which is to make something 'winter' . Check out the challenge here - www.flourishes.org/blog/
    All for now - still have some setting up to do and I am seeing more daylight :).
   Take Care and have a great day!!!!

Metal Wreath

Hallo,
  Well todays wreath is just a bit 'out of the box' so to speak but when I get an idea in my head, sometimes I just have to roll with it!!!!
  My idea was for a steampunk/metal/guy themed wreath.
  First I made the wreath shape out of scrap wire that my DH had stashed in the garage and then I cut out the leaves.
  The leaves were all cut with Spellbinders and sizzix leaf dies from mettalic paper in gold, silver and copper. Then I ran them through various texture folders - gears, clock parts, diamond plate, tires treads and one like a brick wall.
  The letters are from Flourishes 0 colored with silver and gold mettalic pencils and the die edged with copper mettalic pen.
   In place of the flowers I dug out some small gears and watch parts from my stash and glued them on top of the flowers. The ribbon I attatched them to is a mettalic silver mesh that I found some years ago at a garage sale - I used up the last of it on this wreath - will have to use the gold mesh for the next one.
  It is definatly not your traditional Christmas wreath - but could you picture this on the door to some man-types shop or man cave? :).Kinda funky and fun!!! I ended up with 4 like this one - one I left plain. And then I did a Halloween version with the metal leaves onto a twig wreath - should be able to put the finishing touches on that one today....
   All for today - need to do some house cleaning today along with more crafting!!! (I hate house cleaning!!!!)
  Take Care

P.S. This wreath is up on the Etsy shop if you are interested!!

Christmas Wreath

Hallo,
  See what I mean - Inspector Fancy doesn't miss a step. She makes sure every stage of my craft projects are perfect before she will allow me to proceed :)
  This is one of the Christmas wreaths I finished off this weekend.
All stamps are from Flourishes - colored with copics and cut out with Spellbinders dies.
  The leaves were cut with Spellbinders and sizzix dies and textured with embossing folders.
  I really like how these are all turning out !!!!
  Well better get back to the craft room and get busy - lots of projects that I want to finish before my craft fair this weekend!!!
   Take Care
