Recently I was gifted the TH Festive Wreath die set from my sweet friend Bobby, and although it's intended as a Christmas wreath set, I wondered how it would look as an Autumn wreath?! I switched up the colors to more of a Fall palette and added a couple extra die cuts from other sets, and voila! I think I succeeded!! I used Sizzix Revealz Sandable cardstock (they have texture that I really like!) for all my little die cut pieces and the wreath itself from Kraft cs (PTI). Once I finished die cutting all the tiny pieces and gluing them together (time consuming but so worth it!!), I arranged them onto the wreath and then added the wreath to the Terrarium die cut (PFS).
The pumpkins and the ghost kitty are from Poppystamps Perky Pumpkins and Ghostly Cats die sets...I thought they added a fun and whimsical touch to this fall themed card. The sentiment is from Gina K's Thankful and Blessed stamp & die set. I embossed my cream colored background with SSS's Fall Foliage ef and attached all the layers to a Kraft card base. Thanks again so much for gifting me with this die set Bobby...it will definitely be well used and loved...stamping friends really are the best!!!

This couldn't be any cuter! I think your terrarium with the wreath, little pumpkins and that darling little ghost kitty is adorable and creative. The wreath dies make a great fall display!
You've turned that into the perfect autumn wreath, Marcia! I like the way the pumpkins ground it too. This is a marvelous card!
Your Autumn palette and darling pumpkins really brought this wreath into Fall, Marcia! What a spectacular card... the embossing on your card panel is too perfect! How did I not know you had those boo-kitties??
We are SO happy that you've 'embraced the Sketch!!'

Your terrarium is amazing! Love the wreath in Fall colors, and your other elements are so fun
Well, goodness, this looks very fall and I would definitely say you achieved your goal. It's exceptionally cute with the pumpkins and ghost kitty. You aced the sketch totally! I love the Freshly Made Sketches and maybe someday I'll be ahead enough to play along, sigh.
Oh this is such a fabulous take on the sketch Marcia. Love that you turned a Christmas wreath into a lovely fall/halloween wreath.
This card is such a clever twist on the sketch—turning a Christmas wreath into a warm and whimsical autumn scene is pure creative magic. The textured cardstock and layered die cuts add so much depth, and that ghost kitty is the perfect playful touch. Love how the terrarium frames everything so beautifully.
What a wonderful Fall wreath and autumn arrangement, Marcia! I'm loving that embossed background too! The Jack-o-lanterns and ghost kitty make this even more fun!
You definitely succeeded with your lovely fall wreath Marcia. The cute pumpkins and kitty are great touches. Love the embossed background too. Fabulous card.
I recognized the wreath right away, Marcia, and I love how you turned it into an Autumn one. I'm thinking of a Halloween one. Putting it on the terrarium base was such a great idea. You've made good use of all your little extras too, my friend.
This is such a fun autumn card! I love that fall wreath and love those sweet little pumpkins! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
This is such a lovely Autumn composition, Marcia. I love the terrarium idea and all of the wonderful elements you used to fill it.
