Christmas Time Wishes

Hello crafters!  I started by coating a piece of red card with Fire Red Glitter Kiss and allowing it to dry thoroughly.  Next I embossed the Glitter Kiss card using the Stripes embossing folder.  I made a multi-layered frame using the Double Stitched Ovals and Antique gold card for the thinner top frame and white card for the bottom of the frame.  I added it with mounting foam over the glitter kiss embossed card.  I stamped and cut three of the Poinsettia Stampcuts.  I coloured them with Distress Markers and added clear micro beads to the centres of each of the flowers.  I mounted them on the left side of the oval frame.  I cut the Wishes Bold word die/stamp combo then stamped the rest of the sentiment and embossed it in gold.  I added two accents around the flowers from the Pine and Holly Spray die set.  I used the Diamond Poinsettia embossing folder on a piece of white card for the base of the card, then added the oval frame on top.  The card was completed with white, red and gold mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  8 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

This is absolutely amazing Sue. I can't even imagine how much this would light up if placed near a light or have a wall light shinning down on it, those that don't own any glitter kiss, it's a must for your stash it's so fine but really stands out above all other glitter AND it doesn't shed from your card like some brands do. This design is just you, a real Sue Wilson that you couldn't pass by without catching flies. If only I had your talent.
Have a good Friday/Saturday xxx

Good Morning Sue and all.
A beautiful card To whet the appetite and I don't have any glitter kiss.
I may have to remedy that although I have promised myself not to buy anything else until I've used some of what I have. I can't begin to tell you how much I love todays offering.
Have a good day.

karenlotty said...

Beautiful card but I’m not sure I like the dark red background I think it’s one of those that need to be seen in real life to be able to really appreciate it

Hi Sue
Happy Friday everyone x
Oh what a stunning card. I have a feeling that the pictures do not do it justice. I imagine that the background has a wonderful sparkle which we can’t really see that well. I know from experience that the fire red is amazing x

Hi Sue. What a really lovely Christmas card with a slightly contemporary look, ideal for someone who is not a fan of glitter coming adrift from the card.

This Christmas card is lovely. I like the texture including the stripe embossing folder. It really adds interest to the background behind the sentiment. That’s just one detail but is typical of the added details you’ll find on your cards.

Love the stampcut poinsettias and the whole design. I too am not sure about the dark red background. A white one with a dark red sentiment works better for me to show off the beauty of poinsettias.

Hugs from Toronto to you all.
Stay safe and healthy.
