Season's Greetings

Hello bloggers!  I selected a piece of cobalt blue card and used the Tidal Sand embossing folder to add texture to the background.   I cut a smaller rectangle of cobalt blue card and matted it with white card and added it to the middle of the card.  I cut a bauble from the Opulent Baubles die set.    I cut the bauble with two pieces of white card.  The top copy cuts all the way through while the bottom piece of card only embosses the design into the card and cuts the outer edge.  I used the lower card to colour the image with markers.  I covered it with a piece of sticky adhesive sheet, then I put the white die cut piece on top and trimmed away the excess sticky sheet.  I glittered it with Diamond Snow, the added it to the middle of the blue mat.  I added a silver top to it and cut the beaded piece from the Bauble Branch so it looks like it is hanging.  I added some foliage from the Foliage Pieces set cut out of Brushed silver card.  I cut the Noble Season's Greeting out of Brushed Silver card and glued it below the ornament.  The card was completed with white and cobalt blue mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  9"  in size.  All for now, Sue x
