Hello its been a little while hasn't it and I have lots to tell you but lets get straight into the wreath. Despite the wonderful weather I really wanted to use my silhouette cameo as its really not getting much use. If you don't know what a cameo is think of it as printer but instead of printing it cuts. The software that comes with it allows you to buy files to make projects with and have had this one for a while but not yet had a go. The peony weath (see the link bellow) by Bits of paper has detailed instructions available but i didn't want my flowers so full so i left a few bits out. I was keen to use up some paper scraps and I have a small amount of coloured paper from Lidl which cuts a dream on the machine so i picked a range of colours that I liked. I guess if you wanted to could do this in colours to match the room you want it in. I cut five sets of flowers out in different colours so thats 5 sheets of a4. Plus a set of leaves. I used a pipe cleaner to allow me to attach it to the wall. Be careful when you stick your leaves on to space them out so you don't have any gaps which is not what I did so that meant I had to make a quick bow to cover the gap. So this wreath I think would be great instead of a birthday card or get well card.
I actually really like the colours and it took about an hour and half . This could be made from pre cut flowers or even from flower dies but I am pleased that I used my machine. I haven't been crafting as much as I would like but I really do need to get some making time in and I have an idea as I would love to use up some of my paper packs so keep a look out and as always thanks for reading xxxx
