I Started with die cutting the Hanging Florals from Pink Fresh
in gold metallic, dry embossed the centre and layered up from there

and cuts lots of leaves and a few acorns .....

I used several different die cuts including, Sizzix, Poppystamps
and a pretty Pink Fresh stamp and die set.
I also stamped and heat embossed in gold the flower wreath.
Finishing off with a tiny sentiment and gloss over those acorns ....

wow, wow, wow, Mac! This is absolutely stunning and such a wonderful design! You are so clever! Fantastic autumn colours and textures xxx
Hi Mac, hope you are well. What a fabulous card, I just adore the texture looks amazing and reminds me of walking in a forest close to home. I can practically hear the crunch of autumn leaves underfoot, although it's still very hot here in Greece and the leaves are still on the trees.
Marie
Oh course I love this! those leaves are so lifelike and it is such a clever design, lost for words xoxo
Such a beautiful and rich autumn wreath, Mac and it was a genius idea to emboss the centre with a leaf folder. Love the colours you created with the magicals!
Take care.
Hugs

Your Fall wreath is beautiful. Those acorns look so real. Love it.
What an absolute beauty, Autumn really does shine from this fabulous wreath. The aperture using the 3-D embossing folder is a genius inclusion. Wonderful layers of heat embossed leaves underneath those sweet acorns. Stunning!!

I have most of them in my stash too so why can't I come up with such a design myself!! Your a genius. Hugs Mrs A.
Oh my goodness, I came looking for that Harvard Bear and found this GORGEOUS creation! How in the world did this not make it to my inbox? I am so very sorry, Mac!
You've arranged those stunning fall colored leaves so perfectly on this wreath - oh I found that darling little thanks among them! I just picked up three perfect little acorns on our last walk through the forest of our dunes - only those with their caps intact will do! Just like those you've pinned to the top! The gold, the embossing peeking through - no wonder you received those accolades!
Congratulations - well deserved! xo
