Just Believe

Good Sunday morning all! This is a really easy card for doing batches for Christmas.  I started with a piece of card covered with a piece of sticky adhesive sheet.  I used the Persian Dawn Gilding Flakes all over the sticky sheet and I used a piece of Rubitscubit pad to move the flakes around, then refine and remove the excess. Next I used the Slimline Rectangle Frames die and cut a white frame and added it over the gilded background with mounting foam.  I cut the Slimline Holly Swirls Background in black and glued it to the background inside the frame.  I cut a Pierced Flag in white and attached it across the lower part of the card.  I cut the Just Believe sentiment in black and glued it to the flag.  I used the Poinsettia Trio set and cut the smallest one in white, added a gold centre then attached it to the left side of the flag.  From the Foliage Pieces,  I added several white pine sprigs as accents.  I added tiny white pearls to the Holly Swirls Background.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 4 3/4"  x  9"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a beautiful card especially for batch making, you could do it with different colours of gilding flakes to make a variety of backgrounds, perfect.

Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Hi Sue. What a really effective card today and so easy to make. (the clearing up afterwards might take a while as I always make a terrible mess with gilding flakes!)
