I decided to show my appreciation to my SIL and create a card for her.
The background is stamped with a mix of Tea-Dye and Antique Linen dye inks with the Peeled Paint stamp.
I then die cut a mix of the Sizzix Autumn Gatherings and used the Ranger Distress Stain Sprays (Fired Brick, Spiced Marmalade, Crushed Olive) along with the Heidi Swapp Color Shine - Mustard
to color the leaves.
I traced a circle on my background to keep my wreath in shape and then layered the leaves into a wreath. I added a touch of seed beads to the leaves and voila a wreath.
