Christmas Greetings

Hello there my crafty friends!  This is one of my personal favourite cards from the first Christmas release.  I started with a piece of Blue Dusk card.  I cut two of the Scalloped Snowflake Borders in white.  I glued them to the top and bottom of the blue dusk card.  I used the thin scalloped die in the set and added one on the top and one on the bottom of the Scalloped Snowflake Borders.  I cut the Clipped Corner Rectangles in white and made a thin frame.  I added it with mounting foam over the Scalloped Snowflake borders and nipped away the excess card in the corners.  I cut the Christmas Greetings sentiment in blue dusk, shadowed it in black  and glued it to the shadow backing die cut in white.  I added it with mounting foam to the centre of the card.  The card was completed with white and blue dusk mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue, this is indeed a beautiful card, I love it. The Scalloped Snowflake Border die and the sentiment are currently on their way to me (along with the Christmas Village) so I hope to be able to make something equally as lovely as your card.
