Wreaths, Plain and Fancy

Welcome to Day 3 of our Happiest Holiday Sneak Peeks at Power Poppy!

Today we bring you Wreaths Plain & Fancy.  There’s just nothing like the festive feeling of a beautiful wreath greeting you on a door or wall.  Marcy has captured some gorgeous wreaths in stamp form and you can “gussy them up”, or leave them simple.  They will shine equally with their lovely accents or in their sweet simplicity.

Today I’m bringing you a more simple wreath of olive leaves and berries but done with all sorts of shimmer and glimmer to make it all shine.  The wreath is coloured with soft blue greens and the berries are given a little shimmer with a glitter pen.  Then I’ve placed the die cut circle on some vellum to continue that softened effect.  

For the silver/gray section, I used a Tim Holtz Stencil (Gothic) to add embossing paste and then embossed with silver and then spritzed the sheet with Mr. Huey’s shine to give it a glimmery patina.  

I also added a strip of Scor Tape that I had burnished Dazzling Diamonds glitter into, and finally added some shimmer enamel dots.  I think it speaks “peace” like the sentiment says.  

Here’s the small selection of Copics I used.  

Here’s the Bloom Brigade in action today....they’re going to wow you!
