Celebrate

Lucky you:  today is another two-fer, so be sure and scroll down for the second card!  I was having fun trying out various ideas and decided to make a second card with the extras.  The top card shows a completely exposed wreath which sort of ties the various elements together.  . . .


On the second card, I thought it would be neat to actually use the wreath to ground the various leaves.  But when the wreath was completely hidden, the leaves just made a rather aimless circle on the card front. . .   


So I tucked in several twiggy sprigs facing out from under the leaves and it changed the whole look.

Moral:  let some of the wreath show here and there between the leaves.  It's likely to look a lot better that way . . .
