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.
Morning Sue.
