Christmas Double Day

Hello crafters!  I have two cards today for you that are both very nontraditional in their colour schemes.  I used Silver dream Pixie Powder on a piece of acetate mixed with Cosmic Lacquer then added wrinkled white tissue over the top.  I set it aside to dry overnight.  I cut two of the Stitched Snowflake Striplets in white and added them over a piece of the pixie powder background.  I embossed a piece of white card with the Snowflake Mosaic embossing folder.  I attached the two striplets to the sides.  I cut the snowflake tag and added it to the top of the card.  I stamped the sentiment and cut it out with the oval from the tag set, inked the edges with Chipped Sapphire.  I sprayed it with glue and then coated it with Diamond Snow and added it to the tag.  With the remainder of the pixie powdered background, I cut the Poinsettias out of it.  I assembled them and and added them with Holly Swirls as accents.  White on white mats and layers were used to complete the card.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x  9" in size.  Scroll down for card number two.

Card number two is more of a vintage style in it's colouring of dusty rose and cream.  I cut an aperture in a piece of milk card using the Noelle Frame outer die.  Next I embossed it with the Poinsettia Trellis embossing folder for texture.  I cut the Garland Edger with the larger decorative die and the smaller decorative piece out of milk card.  I cut a strip of dusty rose card and added it behind and added a strip of cream pearls between them as an accent.  I added mounting foam to the back and attached it on the lower portion of the card.  I attached a piece of sticky adhesive sheet to some milk card and attached the background to it with mounting foam.  I cut the Noelle frame in milk card and recessed it down into the aperture, then coated the remaining sticky areas with Diamond Snow.  I stamped my sentiment on milk card and cut it out with a Pierced flag, adding the next size up in rose as a mat.  I attached it across the aperture with foam, then added a Poinsettia Cluster in milk and rose as an accent.  Cream flatback pearls were added to the background and milk and rose mats and layers were used to complete the card.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x  8" in size.  All for now, Sue x
