crafting wreath




Hello!  It's Amy T here with a one layer card!  I challenged myself to design a one layer card, I'm more of a layering girl.

Here it is:



Do you recognize the blooms?  They are from the new release set, Paris.


This is when I tell you that I'm easily distracted.  I had the best intentions of doing a tutorial of the technique I used but when I tried to take pictures with my phone, I had major malfunctions and had to step away from my craft room and get help from one of my kids.  When I returned, I went my merry way and finished stamping and coloring and then remembered I was suppose to take photos.

So here'a a quick photo of my overall technique:


The yellow circle is about 2 inches in diameter that I die cut from a sticky pad.  I stamped the cluster of blooms all the way around the circle without, of course, inking up the sticky note.  I wasn't really happy with my last image so I covered up the spot with the fussy cut bloom and spirals of beading cord.  I think that it's a nice POP to the wreath, how about you?

Yes, I can't seem to get enough of the Crafting is my Jam set:



I colored the blooms with various copics.

So, what do you think?

Are you a one layer or multi-layer crafter?
