Make It Monday #300 Build a Wreath

I am playing along with the Make It Monday Challenge Build a Wreath today. I loved Melissa's video and her gorgeous examples.  Here is my card.

I didn't have the gorgeous wreath Melissa used, but I am going to buy it as soon as it's back in stock.  I did, however, have the gorgeous set called Sprig Wreath.  First, I started with the background.  I used a lattice stencil from the Garden Gate kit and sponged with Spring Rain ink.  I stamped the wreath pieces using the rock and roll method and New Leaf and Pinefeather inks.  I added some leaves from the Spruce & Sprigs set and some smaller greenery and pinecones from the Sprig Wreath set.  To top it off, I added a Cardinal from the Winter Woods set.

Thanks so much for coming by to look.  Your kind comments are always appreciated. 

Fuchsia & Hummingbird

I decided to play with another set that I haven't used before.  This one is called Humming Along and is from PTI.  I love the fuchsia flowers and the hummingbird.  I think this is the first year in many that I haven't had a fuchsia hanging basket by our front door.  This is a gorgeous plant.

I started with a Spellbinders die called Fancy Lattice.  This is another item that I haven't used much because I always had such a hard time getting it to cut with my Cuttlebug, but now that I have a Big Shot, it cut on the first run through.  The little humming bird is so sweet and I added some Wink of Stella to his wings and under belly for some added sparkle. 

Thanks so much for coming by to look.  Your kind comments are always appreciated.
