3D Wednesday~Christmas Wreath

Welcome to another 3D Wednesday at My Creative Time! Today's challenge was to incorporate a wreath into our project. For my project, I made a wreath using a foam ring you find at your local craft store. This was a HUGE project, I'm not going to lie, it took several hours to make. But I LOVE IT! I can't wait to hang it up in my home! I just love it to pieces. My 14 year old daughter cut out all the flowers for me and I did the rest.(yes I know child labor..lol) The flowers of course are from the MCT Rolled Flower dies. And yes I rolled all of these flowers (and burned my fingers a few times with the hot glue gun)...It looks so small but my door is actually really tall. I just love how it looks! I will be hanging it inside my home because I don't want it to get damaged from the rain (I would be heart broken!)



I wish you could see it in person! The photos do not do it any justice. 



I used the Scalloped and Stitched Circle Die Set for the center of my bow. I added a vintage button and a flower embellishment from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.



Here is a close up of the flowers. I sprinkled Diamond dust all over the wreath.
