Rejoice In The Season
Hello there my crafty friends! I just love this clean and simple styled Christmas card! I started with a piece of white card and used the Poinsettia Scalloped Border and cut it into opposite ends of the card using just the lattice and looped edge dies. Next I cut the Wreath Frame in white card. I used Distress inks and sponged various shades of green onto the foliage. I used Berry Sparkle PVA glue on the berries. Using the Round Corner Squares, I made a small white frame and added it to the die with foam mounting tape. I cut the Rejoice in The Season out of gold card and glued it to the inside of the frame. I added the wreath frame in a diamond orientation to the centre of the card. The card was completed with white and gold mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Oh Sue this is absolutely beautiful, it's crisp and fresh with just the right amount of subtle foliage, this would be just as beautiful for a autumn winter birthday with a change of sentiment. This is one design I could spend all day looking at if it was my fireplace or wall. Be happy, stay safe keep well xxx
Good morning Sue, This is definitely one of those cards that takes pride of place on the mantelpiece. Truly beautiful & one that I would love to have received. Yvonne xx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a fantastic sample, you can see the shine on the thistle and berries in the close up, brilliant, I have these dies so will have a go at this one, thank you for sharing with us xx
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Loving this post - it reminds me of your noble merry christmas post on the launch, which was one of my favourites. This on is right up there as elegant, chic and timeless....
Hi Sue. I love this card too! Although I am usually one for using as much bling as possible on Christmas cards, there are always those for whom a more tasteful card is more appropriate and this is perfect for those people.
The looped edge of the background die cut reminds me of vintage handkerchiefs I have seen that have this design around the edges. Beautiful and elegant card. Hugs.
