Lovely to meet some of you at the Kettering Show yesterday. I'll be there again today doing more of the same.
Another Christmas Card today.
For the background, I ran a piece of red card through
the Grand Calibur with the Spellbinders Elite M-Bossabilities Folder I ran it through a second
time to extend the pattern.
I stamped the winter scene
image from the Creative Expressions Christmas Post Stamp Set using Olive Archival. I covered the card with a piece from a
Self-Adhesive Sheet. You can still see the image through the adhesive sheet. I cut the image out using the largest of
the Spellbinders Splendid Circles dies. I removed the backing from the adhesive and sprinkled with Cosmic Shimmer Aurora Crystal Sparkle Glitter.
I cut the largest of the
Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles out of green card.
At the emboss stage I added the Trellis Mask. I cut 2 corners out of green card using the Spellbinders Lattice Accents Die Set.
I stamped the
sentiment from the same stamp set using Olive Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear
Embossing Powder. I cut it out using one
of the Spellbinders Ribbon Banners dies and inked
through the die with Barn Door Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.
I put some of the
Self-Adhesive Sheet on to a piece of red card and cut 2 x each of the 3 smallest dies from
the Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia die set – I didn't emboss them. I peeled off the backing sheet and sprinkled
with the Aurora Sparkle Glitter. I cut
2 x largest of the dies used out of green card – I embossed these. I assembled the poinsettia and added a 5mm White Pearl
with Cosmic Shimmer Glue. I repeated this
using just the 2 smallest dies to make a smaller poinsettia.
I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlesent PVA in Berry Red around the edges and some Self Adhesive Pearl Swirls.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.
