Christmas Double Days

Hi bloggers!  This is my one of my favourite angels cards, I just love the colour combo.  I started by embossing a square of milk card using the Star Swirls embossing folder.  I rubbed Enchanted Gold gilding wax over the top of it for a subtle shine and matted it with a thin black mat.  Next I cut four of the Bright Star Adornment in milk and attached the edges to the four edges of the background piece.  I added mounting foam to the back and attached it in a diamond orientation to a larger piece of milk card, also matted in black.  I cut the 2016 Angel in both milk and black card.  I offset the black as a shadow and then used the die to lightly emboss the shape on to milk card which was covered with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I hand cut it and attached it to the angel and then gllittered it with Diamond Sprinkles to create a solid background for her.  I added her to the centre of my background with mounting foam.  I completed the card with milk and black mats.  The finished dimensions are 8" x  8" in size.  Scroll down for card number two.

For card number two, I cut the Mini Poinsettia background in white using just the outer decorative cutting die in the set.  I backed it in white and added mounting foam to the back.  I cut the centre section of the die in white and added a sticky adhesive sheet to the back of it.  I gilded the open areas on the front with Red Blaze gilding flakes and added a piece of white card to the back and cut the centre of it out.  I added mounting foam to raise it and added it over another piece of gilded card.  I cut two of the Happy Christmas die in white and stacked them and glued them into the opening.  I made two poinsettias that I glittered with Iced Snow and added them in opposite corners.  I cut white Holly Branches as accents and used pieces of gold metallic lynx as accents with them.  The card was completed with a white on white mat and PVA glue dots around the edge.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x  8 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x
