Believe

Hello there my crafty friends!  I started this card by embossing the background with the 3D Stylized Poinsettia embossing folder.  Next I cut the Bauble Background out of white card and gold mirror card.  I offset the gold behind the white die cut.   I cut the Bauble Background one more time out of Antique Gold card.  I cut the centre strip in Gold Mirror card and glued it behind, then used the Bauble Edgers to cut away the sides.  I glued it on top of the original background.  Using the Poinsettia Stem die set, I cut two antique gold flowers and glued the outline on top that was cut out of mirror card.  I attached them to the lower left corner of the background and added white leaves as accents.  I cut the Believe text in Antique Gold with a gold mirror card shadow and glued it to the bottom of the card.  The card was completed with white, gold mirror card and Antique Gold card mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7" x  8 1/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue a new week begins with new inspiration and this is gorgeous. I love the effects of shadowing but do you hold your breath like there's no tomorrow hoping and praying that the top layer doesn't slip from your fingers just as you're hovering above the bottom layer, phew, I've had that happen a time or two but you do it so perfectly with a stunning end results.
Thinking of you yesterday Ann.

Hi Sue. I love the effect you can get using the shiny gold and the matt gold together. I think this is a very classy card and not necessarily for Christmas.
