Joyful Greetings
Hello crafters! I used the Nordic Tiles embossing folder to add a bit of texture to the white background. Next I cut the Christmas Rose Floral Panel in brown and black. I shadowed it with the black die cut then cut it two more times, once in green and once in red. I cut the leaves out of the green version and glued them on to the brown base die cut. I cut the three flowers out of the red die cut and glued them on to the brown base die cut. I added clear micro beads to the centres. I added a white backing piece to it then cut the decorative bases. I cut the outer base in red and then added the smaller base in white on top of it. I attached the floral panel on top of the base, then attached it to the left side of the card. I used two sentiments to create the one used on the card. I cut the Noble Joyful in red and added it to a white base. I cut the word "greetings" from the Christmas Greetings sentiment then added it to a white shadow base. I attached it under the Joyful sentiment. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8 1/4" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x
