A Christmas Wreath

Happy Wednesday,

I can't believe tomorrow is Thanksgiving. It is my favorite holiday with yummy turkey and all the fixing's and spending time with family. I have so much to be thankful for and have been blessed with a wonderful family!

The challenge over at 7 Kids College Fund this week is Anything Goes. I made this beautiful wreath using Magnolia Stamps and the Nutcracker Theme. If you have been visiting my blog you may have noticed that I love the Graphic 45 Nutcracker Sweet paper. 



The floral backgrounds for each Tilda were made using Spellbinders circles and Tulle that I gathered to create a whimsy look. The images were colored with Copic markers. I used snowwriter with fine glitter for the wings on Summer Flower Tilda, Tilda with Tag Gifts dress trim and for the snowflake that Snowy Tilda is holding. I embellished my wreath with Graphic 45 Nutcracker Sweet Chipboard pieces, ribbon, flowers, snowflakes and the Cherry Lynn Flourish Die. I hope I have inspired you today!
