Through the Window is the theme over at Heart 2 Heart Challenges this week. I thought and thought about this one and as I was approaching my front door, looking through the window of the storm door I thought about how bare my horseshoe wreath looks without the Christmas lights that originally came on it.
I took off the lights after the holidays in January and left it up with nothing. So, I decided to make a Sunset mum and some leaves to put on it for the Thanksgiving season! I chose my colors with the challenge over at Color my Heart as inspiration.My cuts are from Art Philosophy, Artbooking, Artiste, and Artistry.
To give my sentiment a little more pop, I heat embossed it using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder and VersaMark. (For an interesting embossing technique I used recently, see this post!)
I used the Floral Embossing Folder on my banner and I embellished with some Black Epoxy Bubbles, a black button from Mini-Medley Accents Black and twine from my stash.
I have to say, it's nice to have some fall color when I look through the storm door window at my front door when I drive by my house! I'm sure my visitors and the guys delivering my crafting supplies will appreciate some new seasonal decor greeting them!
I have recently found a very creative site: Through the Craft Room Door. I'm sending my wreath that direction to their Anything Goes Challenge!

You are so clever "look through the window of your computer..." This is a great wreath and a very nice make-over for the season. My daughter-in-law loves horses and her home is decorated with anything related to horses. A couple years ago I made a lot of country ornaments for her Christmas Tree and a leather material fringe garland with bling from material I had left over from a tree skirt and boots for stockings.
ReplyDeleteYour wreath is beautiful! I love the big flower and the embossing on the sentiment really makes it pop! Thanks for sharing your lovely creation with us for the "Through the Window" challenge at Heart2Heart this week!
