Floral Wreath Birthday Card

It's my sister-in-law's birthday today. I'd intended to get her card into the post early but my good intentions got derailed and I didn't start making it until after Stick It Down published their December sketches on Tuesday. This at least gave me the chance to put the card sketch to use straight away.

I started from a cream base card and pencilled a 3" circle on the front. I daubed green ink around that circle and then made my wreath with sprigs die-cut from an old Basic Grey paper which I chose for its subtle variation in greens. I then added my butterfly and some pink punched flowers to the wreath, finishing with tiny gems as my flower centres and extras scattered around the wreath.
