THE MERRY CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE #31 - WREATH

THE MERRY CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE!
I love making Xmas cards.
My DT project for this week.
The theme for this challenge is WREATH

I simply printed out a digi image of a lovely Christmas wreath I had and die cut a square around it then matted it to the front of a 5x5 white card base. I also printed out a 'MERRY CHRISTMAS' sentiment and laid it across the centre of the wreath using foam pads to give it a little lift.
I hope you like what I did.
