Season's Greetings
Hello crafters! I started by embossing the Brick Wall embossing folder. I lightly inked over the top of it with Pumice Stone Distress ink. Next I cut a white frame using the Double Stitched Rectangles. I added mounting foam to the back of it then attached it to a piece of white card. Using the Cosy Fireside Christmas die set, I cut the fireplace out of slate grey card. I added a black mantle to it. I cut the mantle clock in gold and glued it to the top of the mantle. I cut three red stockings and used Fluffy Stuff on the tops then heated it. I added them across the top of the fireplace. I cut the fire and logs and coloured them then added them inside the fireplace. I cut the tree in green and coloured the baubles in red. I added a gold star to the top and cut an assortment of presents for around the tree. I added one to the side of the fireplace. I cut the Season's greetings sentiment in red and added it to a white shadow backing piece. I added it to the inside of the frame with mounting foam. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 3/4" in size.
Good Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, such a stunning creation, I am so pleased I purchased that die set, so I can have a play later, must see if I have a brick wall embossing folder in my stash, ha ha.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxxx
