Another Favor

 
Today is the final Saturday of Card "Create"tions at Create with Connie and Mary.  Each of the designers have made a simple favor with the stamp set they featured this week over at the subscription site.  It's amazing how fast this mini-series has gone by, but it has surely been fun and inspirational.

My project came together rather quick.  I cut three pieces of Gumball Green from the Floral Framelits and then used a smaller Floral Framelit to cut out the center.  Then I stamped the flourish image from Open Sleigh with Gumball Green all over each cut piece.  It is very subtle but in person it really adds some nice depth.  I spritzed each layer with rubbing alcohol mixed with a few drops of Shimmer Paint and scrunched the pieces all up.  I opened them up and glued them together to form my gorgeous layered wreath ornament.  The images for the banner are also from the Open Sleigh set and I ran a Two-Way Glue Pen around the banner edges to add some Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.  A bow, more glitter, and Basic Rhinestones make the ornament totally fabulous.  The super nice thing about this quick and easy project is it doubles as an over-the-top gift tag.
