Winter Greetings

Hello crafters!  I used the Blustery Frame and cut it into a piece of white card.  I selected several shades of blue card.  I cut into each colour the same die but I rotated it slightly in the card.  I stacked all the colours from lightest to darkest and taped them together.  I added mounting foam to the back of the piece.  I attached a piece of sticky adhesive sheet to a piece of white card.  I lightly marked the area that will show through the cut out area, then I added snowflakes cut from Arctic Blue card using the Snowflake Panel die.  I attached them as close as possible to each other, then filled in the remaining sticky sheet with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz.  I attached the front piece over it and added a few more snowflakes in the lower corner.  I cut the Winter Greetings sentiment in navy blue and glued it the upper left corner. The card was completed with white and navy blue mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  8 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

How bizarre that you have chosen these blues as I've just stocked up with Creative Expressions blues available at a store which was sadly shutting down. Great inspiration Sue. WakeyL

Hi Sue. Wow, I think this is such a stunning card. I love the blustery frame die anyway, but I wouldn't have thought of layering them up in this way and I love the result.

Hi Sue
A beautiful card with all the layers of different shades of blue of the blustery frame. I started my Christmas card making yesterday and made a card with the blustery frame die and one with the radiating background die that was in the same release, then I discovered I was nearly out of coconut white card. Now I have to wait on the postman before I can make any more

Love and hugs to everyone
Pat

Very pretty card with a beautiful color combination. Those little pearls are perfect for adding a bit of shine and elegance to the center of your corner snowflakes. Thanks for the inspiration , Sue.

PP - Welcome back. I really hope that this year's problems are behind you and that you will be able to join us more often.

Hugs from Toronto to you all.
