Holly Jolly Christmas Frame

Other Supplies: Frame (with mat), Pre-Printed Poster Mat with Holiday Phrase (or Alphabet dies), Rhinestones (Clear), Vellum

1. Die-cut out of Agave, Dark Gray and Green Tea cardstock a variety of leaves to create a wreath shape from the Delicate Leaves die set. Die-cut out of Arctic Sky, Ballet Slipper, Cream, Dark Gray, Hibiscus cardstock and vellum a variety of flowers, flower centers and berries from the Petite Petals die set.
2. To create lifelike dimension, paper sculpt all flower die cuts with the gray molding mat and various stylus tool heads from the Paper Sculpting Kit. Additionally, lightly sculpt a few chosen leaves, so that some will lay flat on the wreath and some will be dimensional.
3. Layer a desired number of flower stacks and adhere the pieces together with liquid adhesive. Adhere a rhinestone into the center of the flower stacks.
4. On a pre-printed poster mat, begin to layer die cut leaves in a wreath shape around the pre-printed holiday phrase. (Note: if a pre-printed poster is not desired, die cut a holiday phrase with dies from a craft stash and adhere the phrase to the center of a poster mat.)
5. Adhere the flower stacks, various flower centers and berries as desired throughout the leaf wreath with liquid adhesive.
6. Place the decorated mat into the frame behind the frame mat.
