Season's Greetings

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

I started by stamping the Creative Expressions Florentine Background onto Coconut White Card using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with Phill Martin Cosmic Shimmer Decadent Denim Embossing Powder. Next, I inked up the deboss die in Sue Wilson's Lavish Accented Design Noble Die Set with Clear Perfect Medium and ran it through the Grand Calibur with the embossing sandwich (you could do this in the Platinum but I'm still using up me demo bits). I added Decadent Denim Embossing Powder and heat set. I cut it out using the 2 dies either side of deboss die (I didn't emboss so as to not flatten out the debossed pattern). I cut a frame out of Blue Dusk Card using Sue's Ornate Pierced Design Noble Die Set and popped it behind the deboss frame. I added 3D Foam and added it to my Florentine Background. I trimmed awaythe excess using scirrors.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Peace on Earth Stamp onto Coconut White Card using Cobalt Archival. I cut it out using Sue's Pierced Flags. I cut the next sized flag out of Blue Dusk Card.

I stamped the Shaded Poinsettia in a couple of sizes twice onto Coconut White Card using Cobalt Archival. I cut it out using the corresponding dies from Sue's Classic Poinsettia Die Set. I shaped them, stacked them up and added a Brad.

I cut a pair of Sue's Star Sprays out of Blue Dusk Card. I embossed a piece of Coconut White Card using the Creative Expressions Star Swirls Embossing Folder. I added some White Pearl Corners.

I assembled the card as shown piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.

I've managed to get hold of a few sets of large plates for the Spellbinders Platinum Machine - you can find them here.

Thanks for stopping by.
