PTI Sept. Blog Hop #1: Wreaths (and a tutorial!)

Hello, cafe friends! It's blog hop day at Papertrey Ink! This month's challenge? Make a card featuring a wreath. Yes! After Monday's post of my front door, you know I'm all about the wreath right now!

For my first card, I decided to make a wreath using a non-traditional wreath stamp. I chose Little Bitty Bird stamp set for this card.

For starters, I traced a circle onto card stock with a marker.

Next, I used the branch from the stamp set, bending it slightly on the block. That's one of many reasons that photopolymer stamps are so awesome. Bendability!

Using a repeating pattern, I stamped my way around the circle.

And here's the completed project:

I like this one! It's a little primitive, I think.
