Good Tidings

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I mixed some CS Frosty Dawn Sparkle Texture Paste with some CS Vivid Violet Sparkle Texture Paste and then spread the mixture through the Nordic Christmas Mask onto Coconut White Card. I put it aside to dry (approx 2 hours). Mixing the 2 pastes together gives some lovely gold glitter highlights.

I made a fra,e out of Coconut White Card using Sue Wilson's Double Pierced Squares and Double Pierced Squares Set B. I added it to my background using 3D Foam Tape and trimmed away the excess.

I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Small Oval Christmas Tidings Stamp Set using Watering Can Archival. I stamped the frame from the same stamp set around the sentiment using Phill Martin CS Chic Aubergine Colour Cloud applied with a Smoothie. I cut it out using Justrite Joy Oval Frame Dies. I cut the largest die in the set out of Amethyst Card.

I stamped some poinsettias from the Justrite Multi-Step Poinsettia Stamp Set - I used PM Chic Aubergine for the solid stamping and Watering Can Archival for the veins and the centres. I used Justrite Multi-Step Poinsettia Dies to cut out the elements. I cut some foliage out of Amethyst Card using Sue Wilson's Berry Sprig Dies. I cut Sue's Pine Twig Dies out of Coconut White Card. I embossed them using Clear Perfect Medium and CS Vivid Violet Brilliant Sparkle Embossing Powder.

I completed my card by adding some Purple Dazzlers to the corners of my frame and some mats of Amethyst and Coconut White Card.
