My Friend Wreath for Creative Expressions

"My Friend" CARD RECIPE
I started this card by cutting out a large enough circle (using the CE/SW Melbourne Circle Dies),  out of some crafty packaging cardboard to hold the blossoms for my wreath. The background Panel was dry first embossed, then matted and sprayed with Gold Glitter Glow Spray.  The Wreath's Leaves were stamped, then heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder. The Flowers were cut then shaped with a stylus tool, sprayed with adhesive, some covered with shimmery gilding flakes, some covered in glitter for texture, then all were layered and positioned into a wreath shape. Gold Half-Pearls and Spraying with Gold Glitter finishes the look.  Whew!  It was a labor of love, but so well worth it. It sparkles beautifully in person and I wish the camera could capture all that golden shimmer.
