Hello Crafters,
Today's card tutorial has been designed by the talented Rebecca and uses items from the Botanical Blooms launch, along with a selection of coordinating items from our website. The pretty daisy wreath could be adapted into a wonderful home decor piece to display in the recipient's home, or, by changing the sentiment (or even removing it completely), you could turn this design into a beautiful box-framed art piece for your walls.
