Hi bloggers! I started by cutting the
Layered Snowflake Background die (just the main snowflake) about eight times out of white card. I glued them randomly all over a piece of white card and trimmed them even with the edge of the card. Next I cut the backing die from the
Believe Big Bold Word. I covered a piece of
acetate with a s
ticky adhesive sheet, then cut the background shadow die. I peeled the backing paper off and coated it with various shades of
polished silk glitter (silver, sea green and canadian blue). I cut the
Believe die out of white card and glued it to the top of the glittered backing piece. I added mounting foam to the back and attached it to the background. I cut several of the
Classic Poinsettia out of white vellum and assembled three flowers. I added them in opposite corners using white
Evergreen Branches as accents. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteA lovely card thank you a very pretty background.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Morning Sue, Morning everyone. I sound like a head of school in assembly lol sorry.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea to use dies as a background rather than a folder, I know it's not the first time but I just love how it looks. I'm still on the fence re the BELIEVE word but your vellum flowers are just gorgeous and your branches adorable.
Sending love and thanks for yesterday's 'pick me ups' and hugs to all xxx
Beautiful card to start the day x
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue, this is a stunning card, love the glittered background. I am still dithering about which word dies to use for Christmas cards, but this has given me some inspiration. Take care and stay safe everyone. Bx

Good Morning Sue. I just love this background. I have seen cards where you have done this before and thought the same ... I think to myself ... Ok I will try that ... And by the time I get in my craft room ... I have forgotten about it ggrrrrr. But today's the day. Your card is gorgeous. I don't have the believe die ... But I have the GREETINGS BIG BOLD die. And Lots of vellum to recreate your card with your permission. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today
ReplyDeletePLEASE KEEP STAYING SAFE 🙏 🙏 🙏

Hi Sue, a very classy card and I love the glitter on acetate as the backing; I must try this with my Big Bold Christmas die. You always get my vote when you make vellum poinsettias :-)
