Wow.. I was sooooo excited to see this idea shared on an email list last week.. Jackie Topa suggested using the Shaker Frame circles and these beautiful Vanilla ribbon flowers for a wreath!

above: close up.. aren't these flowers PRETTY!?

Here is the whole card I made:

TO MAKE THIS CARD:

I peeled the largest circle off of the Shaker Frames ring and placed it onto a die cut Whisper White Floral Frames die cut. I added 2 yellow leaves from the Sale a Bration "Happy Hello" simply sent kit, added a tied Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding Ribbon bow, and then mounted it all onto a folded white card embossed with the Lacy Brocade embossing folder.

I think you could pretty easily use any of the largest 3 circles from the Shaker frames for this project.

If you'd like more info on dyeing the Vanilla ribbon flowers, check out my instructions here.

After dyeing them with Calypso Coral ink, I colored them with 3 different markers: Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, and Cherry Cobbler, then i spritzed them with the Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz... they are so pretty in person!

I was trying to get the feeling of this rose from my garden... I need to add more yellow.. but it's close enough :)

Tip: before adding these flowers to your project, be sure to trim away the excess netting between the flowers so it doesn't show.

I wish the shimmer would show up in the photos.. .i tried.
