December inspiration on the LawnFawn blog

  Hi Everyone!

 I'm here to share some inspiration on the LawnFawn blog. Only two days till Christmas, but hopefully you have time for some last minute cardmaking. Here's a design where nothing can really go wrong - no such thing as coloring outside the lines here. Just diecut your wreath and apples and wet your watercolors and spend 15 minutes of mindfulness!

I  cut a panel and cut a circle window the same size as the centre of the wreath. I the assembled my colored die cuts and stamped and heat embossed the sentiment. 

I added the panel to my cardbase using foam adhesive. 

The LawnFawn blog is such a great place with lots of inspiration for your papercraft projects.
