Hi bloggers! I started today's card by coating a piece of card with
Moonlit Silver Luna Paste and allowing it to dry thoroughly. Next I embossed it with the
Diamond Poinsettia embossing folder. For the focal element, I cut the
Bell Adjustable Frames four times using the largest size using
Antique Gold card. I backed them in black and assembled them into a square frame. I added mounting foam to the back and attached them to the embossed background. I cut the
Believe in the magic of Christmas sentiment in both antique gold and black card. I shadowed the sentiment then glued it to the middle of the frame. I cut the
Classic Poinsettia out of
vellum and used some luna paste on the petals then assembled them. I added them in opposite corners and used the
Decorative Holly Accents to add white leaves. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now. Sue x
Morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteThank you a great versatile card, it could be a wedding day card too,
or just a ring out the bells and celebrate.
Take care stay safe and have fun Kitty.
Ohhhhh controversial Sue lol. Morning afternoon evening to all. Black on a Christmas card? Oooh yes especially when you incorporate antique gold. I really wish I'd treated myself to the bells, the poinsettia and snowflake adjustable dies are in my collection I invested in them when the orders came through and I knew they would be paid for once the payments came in, and I could kick myself every time I see beautiful cards made with this. They are fabulous for batch making, they are fabulous for two tone and tone on tone wow, so I have a table full of batch made cards in lots and lots of different colours gold/ruby red, gold/forest green gold/cream with your happy Christmas, from our house to yours and to a dear friend mini expression dies and although it was still a lot of work with repetitive cutting it's all down to you how beautiful they look. I really need this bell adjustable die and not just for Christmas. Sorry, yet another long post !! Sending love with apologies and please STAY SAFE KEEP CARING xxx 💖

ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue and Blog Friends.
ReplyDeleteYet another beauty from you Sue. You are certainly a temptress in the card-making world and I hope you always will be. I am so far behind with my family and friends cards that I don't see how I can catch up. I get up in the morning and tell myself to get on with it. Anyway at least I'm up and dressed so that's a start isn't it?
I just love everything you do.
Have a good day everyone.
Hugs.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card.
ReplyDeleteHello Sue
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous I love the richness of the colours.I have the poinsettias adjustable frames and I love them I have made all my special cards with them.Take care everyone x
Hi Sue. What a really classy Christmas card today. I love the combination of antique gold and black with white(ish), but for those who are not so keen on black you could always use a different dark colour. As I have made all my Christmas cards for this year I shall have to store this idea away for next year.
