Krafty Chicks challenge #731 - Anything Goes

Good Morning lovely friends; it's Thursday so that means it's time for a new challenge over at Krafty Chicks challenge.  We have a 5 week month so that means we have an extra 'Anything Goes' challenge this week and Diane is our hostess.  It can't get any easier than ATG so come and join in the fun with us. 

It was my little sister's birthday yesterday so this challenge was perfect timing for me.  I was inspired by a card I saw by Gina K Designs a few week's ago and as soon as I saw it I knew I was going to make my sister a card.  My card is 6" x 6" for a change and it need to be bigger to fit on the gorgeous wreath.  I hope you like it.

Here is my card:

A closer look at the wreath:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by stamping all my images and used the matching stencils to colour them in.  I love matching stencils as they make colouring so simple but look fantastic.  I also used the coordinating dies to cut them out.  I used the square dies from Master Layouts 3 to cut the panel behind my wreath and adhered them together with double sided tape.  I then cut a white panel 5 3/4' square and a slightly larger mat black.  I used a stencil and some very light grey ink to create a soft background for my card.  I temporarily placed the wreath where I wanted it so that I could stamp the 'sister' word in black ink and then adhered the wreath using foam squares.  I stamped and die cut the birthday sentiment and also added that with foam squares.  The smaller square was added to the stencilled square with double sided tape and then the whole thing was adhered to my card base with double sided tape.  For an extra bit of bling I added a few clear sequins around the sentiment and also on the wreath.  For the inside I created the same panels and also did the stencilling again.  I stamped, stencilled and die cut one more flower and adhered it to the bottom left corner with liquid glue.  I stamped a sentiment in black ink in the centre.  The panels were then adhered to the card base with double sided tape.  A really pretty card, which looked even nicer in real life, and my sister loved it.
