May Your Days Be Merry & Bright
Hi bloggers! I selected a piece of black gloss card to use for the background. I cut a thin white frame using the Double Stitched Squares. I added mounting foam to the back then added a white backing piece to the frame and attached it to the top of the background. Using the Build A Wreath die set, I cut the wreath die three times out of silver sparkle card. I layered up the three die cuts for a fuller wreath. I cut the berries out of black gloss card and glued them to the wreath. I added a black gloss bow and several twigs as accents. I cut the May Your Day Be Merry & Bright out of both silver sparkle card and black card. I shadowed the sentiment with the black die cut then added it to a white shadow backing piece. I added it below the wreath with mounting foam. The card was completed with white mat and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8" in size.
Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what an absolutely stunning creation today, the colours are perfect with the gorgeous wreath and sentiment, this is added to my list.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue. What a really unusual "colour" combination that I wouldn't normally expect from you. It gives the card a really modern feel.

Love the colour combo; not the norm for a Christmas card which will be appreciated by younger recipients. WakeyL
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sue and all that visit today. This is a lovely card ... In my opinion this would be for a man. I like it but unfortunately it not for me. I prefer the traditional colours . But I can't take away the work value that goes into all your lovely cards. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well 🙏. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.
