Autumn Floral Wreath

Hello everyone, hope you're all having a good weekend in spite of the cold weather that has suddenly appeared after the mini heatwave.
It's time for the next challenge over at Fashionable Stamping Challenges and this fortnight we want to see a lovely parade of Anything But A Card.
I have to confess I slightly struggled with this as I couldn't quite decide what to do until a good trawl through my treasured collection of Somerset Studio gallery magazines which always help the creative juices return.
I decided on a little wall hanging decoration in more of those glowing Autumn shades I can't get enough of at the moment. There's a photo of the finished decoration and underneath you'll find a few pics to hopefully show how the wreath came about, so here we go:

Both of the above papers were brayered with stripes of Distress inks going from light to dark. They were then stamped with the same inks and the Viva Decor My Paper World Letters and Embellishments clear stamp set.

I then used various punches (Woodware and Papermania) to punch out the flower parts and layered them up with foam tape - a little inking with darker Distress inks brought out the petal edges.

I made the leaves with a Woodware punch and scraps of inked and stamped decorated papers from my bits box. The flowers and leaves were then attached with foam tape to a ring card shape cut out with my trusty Creative Memories circle cutting set.
As you can see, it really isn't that difficult so I'm hoping you're all ready to strut your stuff!

I'm entering my wreath in the following challenges:

Stampin For The Weekend - Colours of Autumn

Fliss xx
