A Very Merry Christmas To You

Good Sunday morning all!  For today's card, I found some decorative papers in my craft stash and used them as the background (sorry, I d not recall the name of the papers).  I cut the largest die from the Swirly Tree-O out of Antique Gold card and backed it with the same colour card.  I added the larger outer die front he set and cut it in green and added the tree to it.  I cut a piece of milk card and matted it in red.  I added the tree to it with mounting foam, then added some small stars around it in gold as accents.  Using the Classic Poinsettia die, I cut two flowers, assembled them and added them next to the tree and added green leaves as accents.  I cut the A Very Merry Christmas To You in red and glued it to the bottom of the card.  The card was completed with milk card mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  8 3/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hello

I really like the papers you have used. I’ll have to dig out the papers I have and see what would work. Great style. The poinsettias are gorgeous and fit perfectly.
