Season's Greetings

 Hello bloggers!  I started today's card by cutting strips out of the Silver Sparkle card and some leftover gilded card.  I cut them in one half inch strips and attached them to a piece of card covered with a sticky adheisve sheet.  Next I cut the outer die from the Stained Glass Bells in white.  I cut the Stained Glass Rectangles to fit on top and added it with mounting foam.  I cut two poinsettias using the Poinsettia Trio out of the left over gilded card and added them in the lower corner.  I cut the Season's Greeting sentiment out of Antique gold card, shadowed it in black and glued it to the backing piece.  I added it with mounting foam to the to of the frame.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue. WOW - this card is a real stunner. I am not sure if I like it because of it's design or because of the colour of the gilding flakes or both. Thank you so much for sharing it with us, I am sure it will encourage us all to give something similar a try.

Wonderful card. I wish using gilding flakes wasn’t so messy. I might actually use them then!! X
