Season's Greetings
Hi there my crafty friends! I started today's card by cutting the outer frame on the Stained Glass Candle in both white and black card. I used the black die cut as a shadow behind the white one. I cut the centre die out of ruby red card and added it to the stack. For the Candle die, I cut it with a piece of white card on the bottom and a piece of black card on the top. The black card will get completely cut while the bottom white card just gets the outside edge of it cut, but gives you a perfect emboss of the candle. I coloured the white die cut with markers. I covered that piece with a sticky adhesive sheet and added the black die cut on top. I coated the piece with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz. I cut the candle die one more time but I cut it in white this time. I added glue to the back ,than offset it over the black die cut. I added the Season's Greetings sentiment cut from the Christmas Wordie Sheets below the focal element. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 9" in size. All for now, Sue x
