Gilded Christmas

Good Sunday morning all! It's a bumper day for prizes so please stay until the end of the blog post! First a rundown on the card, which, hopefully will be helpful to those of you working away on your Christmas card list! I started by embossing a piece of coconut white card with the Patchwork embossibility folder. I extended it to make a slightly larger background as it is easily realigned. I matted it with a thin black mat. Next I stamped the Striped Holly background by Justrite using a clear perfect medium pad onto soft gold card. I heat embossed it with gold powder for a tone on tone look.  I matted it with both white and gold card and then layered up on my embossed background. Next I covered a piece of black card with a sticky self adhesive sheet that was just large enough to accommodate the 2010 Heirloom ornament. I used Summer Meadow gilding flakes to gild the piece. Using the Justrite Heritage Christmas ornament stamp, I inked it using a black archival ink pad and stamped the image onto the gilding. I stamped the sentiment in the opening and used clear embossing powder and heat embossed the entire image. I cut it out with the matching die and mounted it on foam pieces and placed it in the centre of the card. I used a white gel pen to add dots around the design and sentiment.  I stamped the Festive Poinsettia by Justrite several times on to vellum using a clear Perfect Medium pad. I embossed them all with gold powder and cut them out with the matching die. I layered the flowers up, added a black flatback pearl to the centres and glued them to the corner of my card. I tied a messy bow with white seam binding, added a gold cord bow and finished it with one of the new crystal sparklers. A double mat of soft gold card was added to complete the card. Finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/4" in size.

GM Sue - I am going to start the Christmas Cards this week and this has put me in the moood to do so. Lovely card -love gilding flakes. We have, so the weather men say, the worst storm since 1987 coming to the UK tonight into tomorrow - gusts of 80mph forecast - so it could do some damage. Nothing like you get in the US but still worrying. Stay safe fellow Wilsonettes and batton down the hatches.

For once I have all of the " ingredients" to make this so this afternoon I might just give it a go.

Hi Sue. What a gorgeous Christmas card today !! I absolutely love the effect of the gold on gold embossing. It looks so rich and opulent. I think the contrast of white and gold colours together is just beautiful. The gilding flakes as always look fab. You have used my favourite poinsettias to. The white ribbon compliments the card so well and I must get some of the new sparklers !! They are so lovely.
I did not get to see yesterday's video until really late last night but my word it was definately worth the wait !! Your card was amazing !! I am so in love with your new videos. I can't wait for the next one. I am so glad you have some more to show. I really don't know how you do it all Sue !! Thank you very much. It is all much appreciated.

Hi Sue,
I LOVE this card - it must be the most elegant bauble I have ever seen... Took me a while to understand your instructions but finally it clicked. Must try that for a VERY SPECIAL person (well, they'd have to be I'M running short on time)
That bow doesn't look messy AT ALL - everything is so beautiful.
Hugs, Rose
