Option of something dangly :)




Over at Papertake weekly the theme is anything goes with an added option of adding something dangly. I made this card on a weekend away with some lovely ladies, using Molly Bloom and stamping Up stamps, holly leave  punch and a star spellbinders.  I hand cut a heart and sprinkled it with glitter and added it onto the wreath with button twine (from the Ribbon Girl) .
I used lots of Kraft and glossy accents to add sheen.

The idea of the wreath came from Molly Bloom creator Clare Rowlands.
