This is one of my favorite Jingle Belle prompts. I get to recycle some of the things that I have saved from Christmases past and also from previous projects. This card has some of both.
The wreath was not a wreath to begin with. It was a string of wire with red and green beads on it that was used to wrap up a package. I just wound it around my fingers to make a wreath out of it, using the beadless ends of the wire to hold it together. The bow is some elastic cording that was also on a package. The wreath sits on a piece of gold embossed cherry cobbler paper that was left over from a card I made a few years ago. And the green card base was also a leftover.
The beads are so much prettier IRL, trust me. I shall try to be back before next Wednesday with another EARTH Day card. Goodness knows I have a lot of stuff I can recycle.

Absolutely love the red with gold embossed paper. Enjoy the upcoming weekend!
