52{C}CT March Anything Goes Week

Hey everybody. This week at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown anything goes, except a card, tag, or ATC. There are some home decor items that I would like to try making this year, including ornaments, a wreath, a banner, and some framed art. So this week I decided to try the wreath, since I purchased one a while back. I cut out some flowers using the Art Philosophy cricut cartridge and rolled them and attached them to my grapevine wreath with hot glue. I really wanted to add some candy canes, but it's not the season for that sadly. So I found some peppermints and added those in to make it look Christmasy. I also added a burlap bow tied with jute twine.

Materials used:
Cardstock: Ruby, Hollyhock, New England Ivy, Cocoa, Colonial White
Other: Burlap Ribbon, jute twine (not CTMH), wreath from Hobby Lobby (not CTMH), peppermints from Walmart (not CTMH), Art Philosophy cricut cartridge.

    This is fantastic. I LOVE the little peppermint candies instead of candy canes.

    I love this wreath! There's so much texture and dimension with the twigs and rolled flowers. Love the addition of the little peppermint candies too!

    Sarah, this is terrific! The flowers and peppermints are so pretty against the rustic wreath.
