Spooky & Spirited Wreath

Hello, everyone! Today I am sharing a clean-and-simple

Halloween wreath that was created using the NEW "Spirited" Collection

I started with a wire wreath base used in making the deco-mesh style wreaths. I was going for a very clean design with the main focus on the center piece, so I left the base pretty plain with the exception of a some knotted ribbons and the tinsel stems that come all ready attached.

I love, love, LOVE this paper with the spooky house! For some reason it just reminded me of watching Scooby Doo LOL I cut the paper down a bit and matted it with a larger, coordinating piece of paper. Next, I colored in the house with watercolor pencils by Faber Castell.

A little spritz of lime-green was centered around the middle of the design to give a cast of moonlight!

Before attaching the paper to an 8X10 painter's canvas, I added a black glittered branch that I found at Michael's. I hand-stitched the branch in place with needle and thread.

A simple title sticker was placed at the top with foam adhesive.

To attach the canvas to the wreath base, I punched two holes at the top and then attached with two large rings. A couple of ribbon bows were tied on to the rings.

Thanks for letting me share with you today!

I can't wait to hang this Spirited wreath up in my home!
