A Joyful Christmas

Good Sunday morning all!  I started with a piece from my background stash.  I had used Gilding Polish applied randomly across a piece of white card.  I used Powder Blue, Heather and Ocean Teal Gilding Polishes.  I allowed it to dry thoroughly.  I cut the Radiating Background and cut it in white, leaving a wide edge on it.  I glued the die cut over the Gilding Polish Background.  Using the Round Corner Squares, I cut a small frame and added it with mounting foam in a diamond orientation in the centre of the background.  I cut the Joyful Christmas sentiment in both white and black, shadowed it then glued it onto a strip of white vellum.  I cut the end into a flag and added it across the frame then seated a white Poinsettia  from the Poinsettia Trio die set on the end of the vellum.  I added a silver centre to it.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 3/4"  x  7 3/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue. When I saw this radiating die during the launch, I didn't really understand what it could do, but the more samples I see using it the more I really love it.

Pat, above just read my mind. I ordered the squiggly background but now I want this one! I always say I really don't need more Christmas dies and then out comes the new SW collection every Christmas and I need a fresh batch of goodies for the year's makes. It really is a wonderful die as this card reflects and not just for Christmas.
Have a pleasant, restful afternoon, everyone here,

A lovely card & the white poinsettia is just enough without detracting from the beautiful background. Thank you Sue.

A lovely Christmas card. This design works perfectly for many occasions, especially for a New Year card with no flowers and a Happy New Year sentiment.

Hugs from Toronto to you all.

Hi Sue, I remember this card from the launch and I didn't guess that you had used gilding polishes (the close-ups show the shine beautifully), I thought you had used pixie sparkles. I do like the card and oddly enough it is just the actual die that makes my eyes go funny:-)
