Have A Joyful Christmas

Hello there my crafty friends!  I started by embossing a piece of white card with the Nordic Tiles embossing folder.  Next I cut the Ornate Oval in sections in white.  I cut the three largest sections and stacked them with mounting foam.  Next I inked the Poinsettia Stampcut die and ran it through the die cutting machine.  I did this several times then sat and coloured all of them with Distress Markers.  I used Festive Berries, Fossilized Amber, Forest Moss and Pine Needles.  I added an extra Poinsetta to the centre one to give it dimension.  I added all the flowers to the centre below the Ornate oval and used white pine sprigs from the Pine And Holly Spray die set as accents.  I glittered the centres of the flowers with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz.  I cut the Joyful Christmas sentiment in black and added it to the centre of the card.  The card was completed with white and antique Gold mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8"  x  8 "  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Sue, this is just you, it's absolutely beautiful from the first piece of embossed cardstock which I've got and it's a lovely folder, to the pearls, every stage of the design is a true Sue design that puts a smile on our face.
Stay healthy and well xxx

Hi Sue. What a lovely card today. It's such a coincidence that I have been making a lot of white cards with a splash of colour for Christmas this year so it is great to have more inspiration along this theme.
