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.

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

  11. Good 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.

  15. Hi Sue, it may not be traditional colours but I love this card. Silver Sparkle and gloss black really make it shine.
