Add-on Sketch #11
Leaf Wreath by Janice Daquila-Pardo
Supply list - Cardstock: Archiver's; Patterned papers: Cloud 9 by Fiskars, My Mind's Eye; Mist: Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist by Tattered Angels; Tools: Hot glue gun, Imaginisce Petal Roller;
Grapevine wreath base: from Hobby Lobby
This add-on sketch made me think of origami because of the lines radiating from the center. So I searched online for instructions for making origami leaves similar to the sketch, and I chose this one: http://girltaoqu.com/origami-flower-leaf.html. I wanted to make enough leaves to create a fall wreath for our front door, so I rummaged through my stash for patterned papers that would go with it and started folding.
Once I had enough leaves in an assortment of patterns and sizes, I hot glued clusters of them together before arranging and hot gluing them to the wreath base. I then created a few rolled flowers using cardstock, misted them with iridescent gold Glimmer Mist and nestled them in among the leaves. And now it decorates our front door!

Wow! That is amazing. So, so, so fantastically inspiring!
Wow, I love the wreath, and I totally want your front door!
I was thinking the same thing as Jennifer! Love the front door and the wreath is so great!! :)
what a pretty wreath! Love how you combined the leaves with the wooden wreath!
This is an awesome project and one I totally lifted for this month's blog hop over at the Counterfeit blog! Mine isn't quite as gorgeous as I didn't have the twig wreath as a backdrop but it was so inspiring, I couldn't resist lifting the idea! thanks
