Hi bloggers! I have mixed a bit of the old with the new for this first card in our double day. I couldn't help but pull out the
Vertical Peace die from my very first Christmas release as I thought it just went so well! I started by covering a piece of
coconut white card with three shades of
Distress Oxides; Fossilised Amber, Spiced Marmalade and Fired Brick. I cut both the
Ray of Light Background and the
Vertical Peace die out of this piece so I had matching colours running through both of them. I backed the background with black card and attached it to a larger piece of white card. I cut the
Peace die in black and used it as an offset shadow and mounted it along side the background. I cut the
Three Wise men die and added a black backing by embossing it and then using that to hand cut it. I completed the card with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 1/2" in size. Scroll down for card number two.
Card number two was created while I was having a play with several colours of
Glitter Kiss. I started by using the
Snowflake mask on a piece of white card. I used both the
Ice Blue Glitter Kiss and the Periwinkle Glitter Kiss through the mask. The snowflakes are fairly thin so they did not get a thick coverage of the Glitter kiss, but I liked that it added some colour to the background. I wanted a bit more texture so I embossed it with the
Snowflake Mosaic folder when it dried. I inked lightly around the edge with
Broken China distress ink. I cut the
Lace Snowflake in white and stamped a sentiment in
Cobalt Blue Archival ink. I used the same colours of Glitter Kiss on another piece of card and then cut the frame out of it (once it was dry). I mounted the sentiment in the centre of the
Lace Snowflake, then cut some poinsettias out of the same piece of glittered card. I added two poinsettias and some
Berry Bough to the corner as accents. White on white mats were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 7" x 7" in size. Two completely different cards, but I hope you enjoyed them both! All for now, Sue x
