Happy Christmas

 Hello bloggers!  It's getting closer and closer now, even the shops are full of Christmas decorations!  I selected a piece of aqua card for the background.  Next I cut the centre die from the Stained Glass Snowman out of both white and black card.  I used the black die cut as a shadow behind the white one and added it to the aqua card with mounting foam.  I cut the Snowman die out of black, white, aqua and red.  I used the fall away pieces from the the other colours to paper piece the snowman.  I used just a tiny piece of orange card and cut it for his nose.  I added it to the other dies with mounting foam.  I cut the Happy Christmas from the Christmas Wordie sheets and added it below the snowman with mounting foam.  I cut the outer frame from the set in white and cut away the long edges and glued them to the sides of the card.   The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  7 1/2"  in size.  

I forgot to mention that the October die release starts here tomorrow morning at 6am.  I hope you will be able to join us back here then!  All for now, Sue x
