Hello crafters! It's Friday and time for a non Christmas, Christmas card I think! I just love aqua cards at Christmas as they feel so frosty, perfect for a Let It Snow sentiment! I started with a piece of aqua card and taped the Large Polka Dot Mask over it. I used Stellar Jade Luna Paste through the mask, then set it aside to dry. Next I made a multi-layered frame for it using a white base and a thinner aqua card top frame. I added it with foam over the dry background. Next I cut the Marilynne die out of white card and backed it with vellum. I cut the smaller Anita die out of aqua card and layered it up. I cut the centre of the Anita die in white and backed it in white and added it with foam in the centre. I used the Let It Snow shadowed sentiment cut in Ocean card and glued to a white shadow backing then added to the centre of the card. The card was completed with white and aqua mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Aqua is a different colour for a Christmas card, the Luna paste makes a gorgeous background.A lovely card.

Hi Sue. It's unusual for Aqua to pick up so dark so at for st looks I thought it was a new Green. I really should consider some Luna paste when I can afford some it looks amazing. I think the majority of your festive dies looked non festive which is what makes them so useable and versatile and I can't wait to see you work with them again maybe with the new presenter - all change again. Hope whatever your plans for the day you're safe, happy and healthy xxx
Morning Sue.
A beautiful card, and pretty colour.
Thank you, take care and have fun Kitty.

You see what an inspiration you are Sue.

Beautiful card sue love the way it does not look to christmassy great card. Laura O Springfield
Very frosty looking! A lovely card and especially useful to send to those that don’t celebrate Christmas in the “traditional” way
Hi Sue, although I am basically a traditionalist I too love to use aqua on some Christmas cards as it does give that frosty feel especially when glittered and the Stellar Jade Luna Paste shows that perfectly here. Lovely card.
Frances
Another non traditional card for Christmas. Sparkly and stylish.
Good afternoon Sue this is a stunning card. I love it. That colour is gorgeous and so are the dies. Have a great weekend. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Hi Sue

Love and hugs to everyone

Hi Sue,
Love a bit of bling on my Christmas cards and your background hits the target. I do like aqua but never thought of it as a colour for Christmas, but you lead us by the nose to get us to think outside the box. So I am going to use aqua for my poinsettias this year. Lovely card by the way. Hugs xx Pauline
Hi Sue

Hi Sue and lovely wilsonettes x
Fabulous card Sue x the aqua is one of my favourite colours and it goes so well with the stella jade x the dies are fantastic as they aren't solely Christmas x thankyou Sue x

Hi Sue. I have to agree with you that aqua and white do make great contemporary Christmas cards, however, in some of the pictures the white has come across as almost cream which I think gives a really vintage feel to the card too.
Lisbeth
This is a gorgeous card! I love the colors you used.
Love aqua cards & love Luna paste, so a double whammy for me! What more can I say other than a lovely card, thank you Sue.
Hello Sue,
Aqua is one of my favorite colors as well, it gives such a clean and crisp look. I really like your combination of dies and sitting atop a mask with luna paste really shows them off.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Beverly
Different but lovely Christmas card today.

Gorgeous!! Actually this would work for a Christmas card, or just a winter themed one. Loving the mix of white and aqua, and that sparkle adds a bit of magic.
