Birthday Wreath

I really need to craft more! We have had some issues with health, mother-in-law caregiving and a big Halloween party this past weekend, that took most of my crafting time and energy. Although I had to push myself, I was determined to make my friend a card for her 60th birthday. Even though it's fall, I wanted to focus on more summer colors because she is more a sunmer person.
I used patterned paper from AC 6x6 Summer pad, cut the vellum with Lil Inkers Dotted Scallops Cover Up die and cut the wreath in multiple colors of cs from my stash using Simon Says Stamp Danville Wreath die (couldn't find it on their website-it may be discontinued). The sentiment stamp is from Unity Stamp kit Wish with all your heart. I cut the tag from a die in My Creative Time Stitched Tag Dies. The little hummingbird stamp is from Impression Obsession stamped with Hero Arts Ombré ink in Lilac to Grape Purple and colored with a blue Wink of Stella pen. The ribbon was wrapped around some craft supply that I ordered (can't remember what!). The bling is Queen & Co.
I'm linking this to the following challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Throwback- I'm going with the Ombre Challenge, Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Wrap it Up-used Ribbon, My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge: 251 and Hop with Unity
