Christmas Double Day

 Hello bloggers!  Today's Christmas double day has two cards that are more traditional in their styling.  First up is the Dove of Peace card.  I started by cutting the Snowflakes out of Vintage silver card. I glued them all over the background of a piece of coconut white card.  Next I sprayed the entire background with Permanent spray adhesive and coated it with Diamond Sprinkles for a bit of bling.  Next I cut the Dove of Peace twice out of coconut white card and one more time out of vintage silver card.  I glued the two white doves together except their wings, which I kept apart and shaped them a bit.  I added the silver dove slightly offset and below them as a shadow.  I cut the Peace word in silver and glued it below the dove.  I added them to a small square of white card that I matted with a thin silver mat.  I completed the card with a white paper pierced mat layer, a thin silver mat and a wider white mat.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x  7 1/2" in size.

number two.

Card number two is a white on white Christmas card which uses some of my non Christmas die designs as well as the Festive collection.  I started with the background and embossed it with the Frosty Swirls embossing folder for some texture.  Next I cut four of the corners from the Snowflake border, corner tag die set and glued them into the corners on a slightly smaller piece of white card.  I stamped my sentiment then covered it with a sticky adhesive sheet, then coated it with Diamond Sprinkles.  I created a frame for it using the inside dies from the Montreal and the Toronto die set and added mounting foam to raise it over my sentiment.  I cut the Montreal die in white as a backing for my framed sentiment, using the centre of the Toronto die on the inside.  I glued the sentiment on top and added the entire piece to the centre of the card.  I finished it with a pierced white layer and a wider white mat.  The finished dimensions are 7" x  8 1/4"  in size.  I hope you see something here you like!  All for now, Sue x
