Country Wreath

I have been "country~fying my photo frames and decorating my fireplace mantel. I made this "country wreath" to go with my frames.
For the wreath I used ;
svgcuts  Birds and Birdhouses collection    http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=22&products_id=38
I got this collection a while ago and haven't had a chance to use it. I embossed the houses and birds, gave'em a little ink and wa~la!
I used a free rose svg file from pennyduncancreations ( ty Penny)
http://pennyduncancreations.blogspot.com/p/my-flower-tutorials.html   ( you have to scroll down a bit to find them)
I had some other little trinkets from my mom and SIL so I used those.


I just added things as I went and somethings worked and somethings didn't but over all I like how it turned out.
I also clipped some thin branches from the trees and put them in my vase I have had forever and just couldn't figure out what to put in it. I think this is perfect!!!!  I also made a couple coffee filter roses ( coffee color) and add them to it as well!!!   LOVE IT!
