Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

Hi blog friends!  This is probably the last chance to use a Christmas card for my Wednesday card giveaway so I thought I would take advantage of that!  If you would like to be entered in the drawing to win this one, just leave me a comment.  I started with a piece of Ruby red card and embossed it with the Nordic Trees embossing folder.  I ran a line of dries clear glue around the edge and then dusted it  with Iced Snow and set it aside to dry for a few minutes.  Using vellum, I stamped the Striped Poinsettia in clear perfect medium.  I heat embossed the pieces with True White embossing powder and then cut them out with the matching Classic Poinsettia dies.  I assembled the pieces to create two poinsettias, one slightly larger than the other and added pearls to both centres.  I stamped my sentiment on to white card using a Clear Perfect Medium pad.  I heat embossed it with Silver Shine embossing powder and cut the sentiment into a strip.  I dusted the edges with Iced Snow in the same fashion as the background.  Once all the pieces were dry, I assembled them and added a few Holly sprays cut out of white card as embellishments.  I completed the card with a white pierced mat layer, then a thin red mat and a final white mat in my usual style.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x  8 1/2" in size.   I hope you like it!  All for now, Sue x
