Merry & Bright

Hello all!  It's back to a clean and simple style for today's offering.  I started by cutting the Poinsettia Flower Square die in white.  I glued it to a piece of clear acetate.  Using Crystal tints, I filled in the flower with Rose Quartz, the leaves with Lime Peridot and the very centre with Yellow Citrine and allowed it to dry.  I added a white backing piece to it then seated it on an outer cut using the Denise die set.  I glued it to the upper part of a piece of coconut white card. I used the Merry & Bright Noble sentiment, cut in red.  I decided to put it on the card in a diagonal style below the poinsettia.  The card was completed with white and red mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7" x  8 1/2" in size.   All for now, Sue x

    Morning Sue, it really is a merry and bright beauty this morning. I've been doing lots of CAS cards lately, a case of having to with time constraints but most of the cards that sold at market were the CAS cards I made, like the majority of this festive die collection they can and will be used all year round. So I'll send hugs your way and hope you have a lovely day xxx

    Hello Sue and all
    Love this die and have used it so much but my cards don’t have that Sue factor that this one does - it is just lovely and I will try something more like this.

    Hi Sue - it is a simple but striking card today and I love the diagonal sentiment. It's another card which will stand out from all the rest on the mantelpiece. Sending best wishes

    Good Morning Sue and all
    What a beautiful card this morning and how strange that I got this die out last night to make some cards. The poinsettia square is a beautiful die and changing the colour we could use the die all year round.

    Hi Sue. What a lovely card today. It has taken me a long time to realise that I am not short changing people to send them a clean and simple card as they can look more classy than one with all the bells and whistles.

    It may be clean and simple and it certainly is Merry and Bright which makes it a perfect Christmas card.

    Have a wonderful day and to all of those Americans celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow, have a wonderful and Happy Thanksgiving. I am especially thankful for your friendship Sue.

    Have a wonderful day.
