Joyful
Hello there my crafty friends! I started with a piece of white card and used the Poinsettia Scalloped Border on the bottom of it. I cut the poinsettia border twice, once in red and once in green. I nipped all the leaves away on the red die cut then seated it on top of the green die cut, showing off the leaves. I added three small pearls to the centres of the poinsettias then added it on top of the lattice part of the border. For the focal element, I cut a larger white frame using the Clipped Corner Rectangles, then added a smaller red frame on top using mounting foam. I covered a piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet, then peeled the backing piece off and attached it to the frame (nipping away any excess card). I cut the Joyful word in red an attached it to the centre of the frame. I filled in the remaining excess adhesive areas with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz, then attached it with foam to the top of the card. The card was completed with white and red mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8 1/4" x 9 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteA very pretty card it is beautiful thank you.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteI think this has to be the nicest festive/any occasion inspiration you've given us, the scalloped border keeps attracting me and pleading with me to give it a home.
I just think that this colour combo is so stunning but change the Expression die and you have a very special card for that very special person be it family or friend (just keep it away from the nippy little jaws of a new puppski lol)
Stephanie, if you ask me these fur-babies are harder work than our own babies lol you'll never be sad or fed up for long, they make you smile, laugh and pull your hair out every day lol.
Love to all this Monday xxx
Beautiful card Sue, love the red and white contrast xx Hazel

Good Morning Sue. Ohhhhhhh I love this and what inspirational excuse I have for rushing off home in three days time from this beautiful place we are in. I ordered this die just after we arrived here three weeks ago and it is now at home just waiting for me to get going with it. My Son rang me to say it had arrived. I hope my take on this one will look as stunning as yours Sue. Thankyou.
ReplyDeleteSending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.
