May Your Days Be Merry & Bright
Good Sunday morning all! I started with a piece of milk card and embossed it with the Nordic Tiles embossing folder. I cut the piece of a diagonal and added mounting foam to the backs of both pieces. I scored a piece of antique gold card and attached the two pieces to it with a gap in between showing the scored card. I added two thin strips of gold card to each of the sides surrounding the gap. Using the Build A Wreath die, I cut the wreath out of antique gold twice and once out of gold mirror card and layered it together to create a fuller wreath. I added a double milk coloured bow, glued it to the top of the wreath and added twigs as accents. I added small milk berries to the wreath as well. I cut the May Your Days Be Merry & Bright sentiment out of both gold and black card. I shadowed the gold die cut then glued it to a shadow backing piece. I added it at the bottom of the card with mounting foam. The card was completed with milk mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 9 1/4" in size.
Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, such a beautiful Christmas card, it certainly deserves a day on the blog, I am going to try this, when you see the close up photos you can see all the glorious detail from the embossing folder and dies, on my list.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smiith xxx
