Happy Holidays

Hello all!  How's this for a traditional Christmas card!  I have used my much loved "Tied Together" embossing folder to create the background for this one on coconut white card.  I had my flatback pearls handier than my PVA glue so I put them on each of the junctions in the background (it just cries out for something at those intersections, doesn't it!)LOL  I used some lovely red and green velvet paper for my poinsettias that was sent to me by a lovely blog follower named Annette.   I made two of them using several layers so they are nice and thick and full.  Just to keep it nice and simple, I cut a strip of white card and stamped my sentiment (from the JustRite sentiment stamp set).  I pierced the top and bottom of the strip and matted it on red card.  I cut one of the holly borders in black card and glued it to the bottom edge of the strip.  I mounted the strip in the upper half of the card and added the poinsettias to the left.  I pierced the edges to finish it off.  I really quick fun card to make.  Obviously less expensive but giving you a similar effect, you can use the Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue in white or pearl too.  There are a few close up pics for you below for you.  I hope you like it!  Thanks Annette, what fun I have had with my velvet papers!  If you are heading to Ally Pally today, please stop by my Rubbernecker stand and say hi!  I would love to meet some of my blog followers.  All for now, Sue x
