With Love and Roundabouts

I really love the Round About Dies from The Greetery - I like that they are "half" a circle so you can get more looks from them - go with a half, or double (or more) to stack them up to get a fuller wreath. I thought it would be fun to mix the Fall version with the Winter version for a look that says the seasons are changing. I have to say I'm really pleased with the finished results.
I die cut both twice from kraft card and then used alcohol markers - reds and yellows and browns for fall, and shades of greens with red berries for winter. I layered the fall over the winter and then blended my background on my cream card with a soft green glow and some splatters of red, green and yellow to pull it all together.
I used one of the centers for my sentiment - again coloured with a marker before embossing a really simple sentiment form the Little Lables Stamp and Die Combo which is one of my go to sets for sentiments these days. I like cards with generic sentiments in my stash - ready for that unexpected emergency card requirement - "with love" works for lots of ocassions as you can add "on your birthday", "and hugs", "on your engagement" etc on the inside.
I really enjoyed how quickly this came together but looks as though it took ages. I might play around with breaking the layers up so more winter shows through next time - and hopefully there will be more seasonal versions to come in the future!
NEWS FROM THE STORE
We'll have restocks from The Greetery, hopefully by the end of this week.
The first week of November will see a new release from Waffle Flower Crafts plus a secret release we can't yet mention - watch this space!
Happy Crafting
