Hello bloggers! Here is a rather traditional colour combo for Christmas in it's red and white. I started by cutting an aperture in the centre of a piece of coconut white card using the
Felicity die. Next I embossed the background using the
Nordic Trees embossing folder. I added mounting foam to the back and attached a white backing behind. I cut the
Felicity die in white and recessed it into the aperture opening. Using the two outer dies from the
Felicity set, I cut a thin red frame and glued it around the aperture opening. I cut the centre square from the die out of white and backed it with red and attached it in a diamond orientation in the centre. Using the
Season's Greeting Shadowed die, I cut it in black and added it onto a white shadow, then glued it in place in the centre of the card. I used the top layer of the
Triple Layered Poinsettia cut out of
vellum and created three poinsettias. I glued them in opposite corners and added the
Twin Holly Sprays in white as accents. The card was completed with white, red and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 71/4" x 7 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a beautiful creation with traditional colours, it looks cream in the picture but that might be my PC. You can't beat these colours. Thank you for sharing with us Sue xx

Hi Sue. It's getting closer and closer and I'm so pleased to read I'm not the only 'last minute'maker lol. Yesterday's inspiration was loved by all and it really was gorgeous as is today's, in my phone it looks like milk and red but still really beautiful, I must remember to use the pretty vellum I have for my floral elements too. Thank you for a gorgeous sample to start a new week. Take care and enjoy your day xxx
ReplyDeleteHello Sue, a beautiful card, love the dimension from the recessed element. Have a good day everyone. Bx

Good Morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteA lovely card with lovely traditional colours.
I wonder what goodies you have in store for us when the Christmas season is over. It's hard to believe that the big day is only 9 days away.
Have a good day.

Hello Sue
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely traditional Christmas card another one to pin for next year
Hi Sue, Very pretty . love Jean Z xxxx
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteA lovely traditional card. Yvonne xx
Good morning Sue Beautiful card the pop of red on white is lovely and so are the vellum poinsettias
ReplyDeleteI like the overall design and the colour choice. I would probably either skip the vellum flowers or make smaller ones as I feel they overwhelm what is a lovely main design.

Good Morning Sue. Another beautiful card today. And I agree with all our other wilsonettes.... It does look cream. Either way it's still gorgeous...And us crafters can imagine what it looks like in white. Well done Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them this morning.Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
ReplyDeleteReally lovely card, which comes up on my screen as cream, as with many others. However, this does not detract from its beauty.

Hi Sue, just back from posting my last Christmas card so now it's a case of tidying my spare craft bedroom. It won't take very long as I just close the door till next year.
ReplyDeleteI do like your vellum poinsettias and really should try using vellum for my flowers too, instead of card. I just worry about them getting squashed in the post. Hugs xx Pauline
Hi Sue, apologies for my absence but I banned myself from all things technological until I had wrapped and packed up all my presents for posting this morning. I am far behind this year and still have to finish a few cards but hopefully I will get them done in time. I love today's gorgeous offering, it is beautiful. Saturday's owl is eye-catching and brilliant. I love yesterday's card so much that it was the first one I made when I received the die and STDF and then it was followed by another half a dozen each slightly different with just a change of colouring and frame.

Hi Sue

Love and hugs to everyone

Beautiful, gorgeous card today. I love the embossing folder you used. Being in the states it seems that I miss out on the embossing folders until I see them used here. Well, I also see cream rather than white but it looks wonderful and I do like the velum poinsettias which I never think of and why not?
ReplyDeleteEveryone have a good week start. I need to go to the post office...should be a blast.

A lovely tradition coloured card, like others to me it looks like cream so I expect the red pops even more against the white. Thank you Sue.
ReplyDeleteHello Sue,
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card with so much detail and texture. Love the pop of red, adds a lot of pizzazz
to the card.
Have a great day.
