St. Patrick's Day Wreath

I am not sure if all you Cricut lover's out there knew this or not, but Jinger Adams, former Provo Craft spokesperson, is in the process of starting two of her very own product lines.  One line will be shoes and the other, crafting.  How exciting is that?  To kick off her crafting line, she is holding a design team call.  What a dream it would be to make the design team!  I know it's a shot in the dark, but you never know unless you try.  Here is my submission:

I started off with a 12" grapevine heart.  This is the backside.

Next, I started adding the shamrocks with a hot glue gun after I added texture to each by rolling a metal ball tool along the backside of them.  I cut the shamrocks in 3 different colors of green and in three different sizes ~ 1.5" H x 21, 2.0" H x 10 and 2.5" H x 4 for a total of 70 shamrocks.  I didn't have a pattern to how I applied the shamrocks.  I just put all three colors in a pile, grabbed, and glued.

I hand sewed a ribbon onto the back of the wreath to hang it from.

 

Next, I added the phrase "LUCKY" from the Cricut cartridge Sophisticated to adorn the bottom of the wreath.  I used glitter glue to highlight the shapes in the phrase and sprayed the wreath with Olive Vine Glimmer Mist for added interest.

I finished embellishing the wreath with a bow and gold craft wire for sprigs.
