Spellbloggers - Floral Wreath using Flowers n Stems die set

Today I'm sharing a floral wreath I made using the Spellbinders Die D-Lites Flowers n Stems die set.

I bought a set of two MDF rings some time ago from Daisy's Jewels and Crafts, and this is a project I've been thinking of making for a while.

When I got the Flowers n Stems die set, I realised this was the time to give it a go!   The flowers are just the right size to create a nice impact.

I started off by giving the MDF a coat of gesso, then I added a few little chipboard elements.   I used the Prima Patina paint set to give the whole thing a rusty bronzed look.

For the flowers, I die cut them from some cream card that has a slight gold shimmer, then I shaped them a little, rubbed on some copper gilding polish then attached them to the MDF ring with a hot glue gun.  I die cut the leaves from green card and tucked them underneath, then added some coffee coloured pearls to the flower centres.
