1. Punch 3 CP11 Kikyous, 6 CP2 Kikyous from the red vellum. Punch 6 CP1 Kikyou from the white shimmer paper.

2. Punch about 20 CP11 ferns (half green vellum and half green shimmer paper). I touched a few up with gold Krylon to spark the wreath. Fill in with the smaller fern punches.

3. Score all flowers. Use moulding tool on the ferns.

4. I cut circle of Star white with circle cutter and taped to CD. Use of CD is optional. I prefer it for dimension.

6. Start gluing the ferns to the circle starting about a half inch from edge. Then start adding flowers. Remember use only the smallest amount of glue. Last dot yellow glitter glue to center of white flowers. Add bow.
