Greetings Of The Season

Hi bloggers!  It's time for another traditional style of Christmas card.  I started this one by embossing a piece of white card with the Hollies And Berries Embossing folder.  I used the Double Stitched Ovals and cut a wide frame out of white card.  I added mounting foam to the back and attached it to the centre of the embossed background.  I coated a piece of red card with the Fire Red Glitter Kiss and allowed it to dry thoroughly.  I used the Classic Poinsettia dies to cut enough to make three different sized flowers.  I assembled the flowers and added them in opposite corners of the oval frame.  I used the Evergreen Branch die and cut them out of Khaki card and used thm around the flowers as accents.  I cut the Greetings of the Season sentiment out of the Glitter Kiss card and attached it to the matching shaodow die cut in white.  I glued the sentiment into the centre of the oval frame.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 1/2"  in size.    

The winners of the blog launch were announced yesterday and we still have quite a few dies that have not been claimed.  Just scroll down to see the post under this one for the full list of winners!  All for now,  Sue x

Hi Sue
Wow. What a fantastic card Sue I love everything about it
It is stunning the glitter kiss on the flowers and sentiment is perfect 🤩
I was watching an old Su Wilson show this afternoon I had recorded it from C&C years ago.
Aww Sue you were demonstrating the Spellbinders baubles dies and the matching stamps whatever that year was. I bought those and now I want to look them out and play. Lol
Please take care my friend
