Hi Bloggers.
I'm with Phill Martin today helping to run his Craftathon. 52 crafters! It's going to be busy!
Here's today's card -
The background is from Phill Martin's Frosty Christmas Holly 8 x 8 Paper Pad. I added a White Pearl Corner to 3 of the corners.
I stamped Phill's Christmas Holly Decorative Frame : Lattice Stamp into Coconut White Card using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with PM Cosmic Shimmer Decadent Denim Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders 6 x 6 Matting Basics A. I stamped Phill's Christmas Holly Insert Frame : Season's Greetings onto Coconut White Card, again using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with Decadent Denim Powder. I cut this out with another 6 x 6 Matting Basics A die. I then pinched an idea from Phill - I ran some PM Cosmic Shimmer Frosty Sky PVA around the edges of both the frames and sprinkled Cosmic Shimmer Glacier Ice Glitter Jewels over it while still wet.
I cut a pair of Sue Wilson's Holly Sprays out of Coconut White Card and added some Frosty Sky PVA as berries.
I picked another paper from Phill's Paper Pad and cut 2 sizes from Sue's Classic Poinsettia Die Set out of it twice. I cut the same 2 sizes out of White Card using Sue's Classic Poinsettia Open Petals Die Set. I glued the pieces together at the centres only, shaped them, stacked them up offsetting them securing with Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue and added a Brad.
I assembled the card as shown piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.
Thanks for stopping by.
