I  have  tried  making  a  few of these  wreaths  recently  as  they  can  be  removed  from  the card  and used  as  a  decoration  , After making  a few  with  coloured  flowers,  I  decided  to  try  just  a  white  palette  ,
I  used 
4 Card  rings  cut  with  a  cricut  cartridge  and glued  together  to  form  a  sturdy  base .
Many  leaf  shapes,  predominantly  Tattered  lace  Ferns  die .
Many  stamped  and  die  cut  petals  glued  to  make  different  flowers  ,

I  sprayed  the  whole  wreath  with  Crafters'  companion  Spray  and  Sparkle  (Irridescent)

I made a large  wreath  for  Easter like  this  as  a  decoration and  thought  I  could  adapt it  for  a  card  .I have  just  bought  the tattered lace  fern dies  and  htey  adapted  so  well  for it  . Everything  was  die  cut in  white  card  and  coloured  with  promarkers  to get  the  colours  to  coordinate  . I  made  the  base  from  4  card  rings  stuck  together  so  the  wreath  can  be  removed  afterwards  .

I used  every  leaf  I  had ,in  punches  and  dies  to  give  a  variety of  foliage including tattered lace ferns .
Various  flower  punches  and dies
Flower  stems  dipped in  flower soft
Doodledrops dipped in flock powder for daisy centres
Various papers
