Christmas Double Day

Hi bloggers!  The first card uses a deep blue background, which is quite unusual for me, but I rather like it!  I cut the Triptych Window out of silver mirror card.  I used a caught in crystal background that  I had made using alcohol inks and mica powders. On a piece of acetate,  I used Blueprint, Cool Peri and Stonewashed Denim, then sprinkled on some silver mica powder before scrunching up a piece of tissue paper and setting it aside to dry well.  I used the outer die to cut the backing for the window, then glued them together and mounted it in the upper portion of the background.  I cut a bunch of the Classic Poinsettia out of vellum and used Silver Gilding Polish on the petals to add a little shine, then assembled them and added the flowers to the corners.  I cut the Silent Night in silver and glued it to the centre.  White, silver mirror card and Deep blue card were used to complete the card.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x  8 1/2" in size.  Scroll down to see card number two.

For card number two, I embossed a piece of coconut card using the Falling Snow Embossing folder.  I cut it diagonally and added mounting foam to the back. I cut another piece of coconut white card, matching the diagonal cut.  I added mounting foam to the back of it too.  I mounted them both onto a piece of Cobalt Blue card, leaving a wide gap between them.  I cut thee Frosty Snowflake Border out of white and glued it into the gap between the two halves.  I cut the 2018 Christmas Angel with a piece of cobalt blue on top and coconut white card underneath.  I used the blue as the outline and the white copy as the solid backing.  I sprayed glue onto the white backing piece, added the outline, then glittered the angel with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz,  I mounted her on the lower left corner and added some pearl swirls.  I cut the Swirled Silent Night twice, them cut both of them apart to get both the Silent and the night words to offset in the upper corner.  White and blue mats and layers were used to complete the card,  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x  9" in size.

Don't forget that the drawing for the die launch winners will be held later today,  It's not too late to add any comments to posts you may have missed!    All for now, Sue x
