Papertrey Ink September Blog Hop

Knowing I’d be arriving home from Chicago late last night, I got one project for today’s Papertrey Ink Blog Hop done before we left. The challenge was to create a project with a wreath, and it was the perfect opportunity to get a head start on the gift exchange tags I need for Tracy’s family. Here’s the beautiful inspiration piece:

I got so busy this morning unpacking and organizing for a new project, that I nearly forgot to get this posted.

I pulled out an old favorite, “Rustic Branches,” which works perfectly on the Tag Sale #4 die. I tried a couple different techniques for embellishing the berries, but settled on adding a drop of Glossy Accents to each one.

Each tag is tied with a piece of Pure Poppy Dotted Ribbon.

I’m hoping to find time before the links close to make another card. I’ve pulled out two more stamp sets with wreaths that I love. We’ll see how the afternoon goes!
