Insomnia has played a huge part in this project.... I got all the matting done after finding all the required files in my stash the other night after searching through lots of files to find just the right cutting files to create this framed wreath.
The leafy wreath and square shadow box frame file are both from Creative Fabrica. I used an old Stampin Up punch for a few extra "branches."
The rolled roses are from a file from Simply Crafty SVGS (Victorian Hat) and the small flowers are from a Dreaming Tree file (Hydrangea Tray). The doily is a file from SVG Cuts Doily Collection.
All files were matted in SCAL6 Pro. I used print 2 cut print for the sentiment on the doily and then it was cut using the SkyCut. I cut 3 of the leafy wreaths and inked them. I wanted a little more depth and used foam tape between two of the layers. The roses are inked on both sides and the top of the petals are slightly flared for a little more dimension. They are glued directly to the wreath. The smaller flowers have a small pearl in the center and are glued to the wreath as well. Additional pearls are glued using E6000 and allowed to dry for a couple of hours to make sure everything is secure. I added a loopy bow using 1/4" wide lavender ribbon and secured with a drop of hot glue.
The 6" box frame is a single piece file. Easy to put together. The center area of the frame is about 5 inches.... it's a pretty snug fit.
