WOW! It's been more than 6 weeks since I visited this site, so I spent the last 3 days trying to play catch-up with all the creativity going on here. It was a little overwhelming trying to comment on all the wonderful cards that took my breath away; so if I missed one of yours, please accept my apologies.
I love Memory Box dies and have been playing with the Catalina wreath lately. The "Out of the Box" blog on its website had a fascinating tutorial by Sue T. on 09/06/2011. That was my inspiration for these cards. Sue colored her wreaths with Distress inks; I did mine with Copics. After coloring, the wreaths were embossed 3 times.
This wreath die has to be one of the most versatile dies I own. I can't think of any occasion when it can't be used...except for a "Macho Man" card LOL!
