Merry Christmas

 Hello bloggers!  I started today's card by cutting a Double Stitched Square out of white card.  While it was still in the die, I sponged Tumbled Glass Distress Ink around the edges.  I cut a larger piece of Brushed Silver card and matted it on top.  I cut the Crystal Kaleidoscope die out of Silver Sparkle card.  I layered it on top of a backing piece cut out of white card.  I cut the inner die from the set out of white card and matted it on to a circle cut of silver sparkle card.  I taped the centre to the outer piece then added it to the inked backing piece.  I cut a larger piece of white card and added the entire piece to the top portion of it.  I cut the Merry Christmas sentiment out of silver sparkle card and glued it to the bottom of the white card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  9"  in size. 


 All for now, Sue x

Dear Sue
Simply stunning, I love the use of the pearls as well! I find it hard not to use traditional Christmas colours so love it when you push the boundaries for me.

Hi Sue. What a lovely Christmas card today. I always love snowflakes for seasonal cards and I also love the size and the font of the greeting.
