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.
