Merry Christmas
Hello crafters! I selected a piece of antique gold card for the background. I covered a piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet. I peeled the backing off and coated it with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz. I cut eight this strips of it and glued it across the gold card diagonal lines. I cut two of the Looped Ovals in white and matted them and attached them to the background. I cut the Stained Glass Candle with two pieces of white card. The top piece of white card cut the entire die. The bottom piece only cut the outside line. I glued them together then cut out the candle with the holly around it. I paper pieced the candle with gold card, the holly in green , the berries in red and the flame in orange and yellow. I sponged some yellow ink and added the candle to the centre of the matted ovals. I cut the Merry Christmas sentiment out of the Christmas Wordie sheets. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 8" in size.
Well Sue.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue. What a charming card today. It's so nice that you show us all these different ways of using the stained glass dies - you don't have to use all of the die to make a lovely card.
