Joyful

Hi bloggers!  I selected black, white and silver as the colours for this card.  I cut the Swirls Background out of Silver card.  I covered a piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet, peeled the backing paper off and attached the Swirls Background to it.  I used Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on the exposed adhesive areas.  Next I backed  the background with a piece of black card, leaving a wide margin.  I cut a piece of white card slightly larger and stamped all around the edges with a poinsettia stamp using a Clear Perfect Medium pad.  I coated it with True White Embossing powder and used a heat tool to melt the powder.  I added the background to it with mounting foam.  I cut the Joyful sentiment in black and glued it on a piece of white vellum, then added it to the centre of the card.  I cut two white poinsettias and seated them in opposite corners with white Evergreen Leaves.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 3/4"  x  7 3/4"  in size.  

. You can see one of our Creative Expression teammates, Jane Gill,  demonstrate, along with loads more inspiration on HobbyMaker at 1pm and 4pm (BST) today.  Look out for the Bubble Tops stamp sets, which contain adorable mini stamps!   Tune in on Sky 670, Freeview 73, Freesat 807 and via the HobbyMaker website and YouTube.


All for now, Sue x

A distinguished and modern card that looks ice cold (as Ann Topp so well said) but the vellum brings the warmth of Christmas. A real gemstone.

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

An absolute joy is the only way to describe this gorgeous elegant card.
Thank you Sue for all the close ups too, especially the poinsettias stamped in white embossing powder, bet it looks fantastic in real life.
