Merry & Bright

Hello there my crafty friends!  I started today's card by cutting the Plume Corner four times out of antique gold card.  I glued them into each of the corners of a piece of white card.  I cut the Stained Glass Bells die by cutting the outer die in white.  I nipped into it by cutting down the centre of it and then cutting out a piece of it then putting it back together.  I attached it in the middle of the card with mounting foam.  I cut the Bell die in white and added a piece of acetate to the back then filled it the areas with glue and tapped polished silk glitter over it.  Once I finished all the colours, I set it aside to dry overnight, then glued it into place in the middle of the card.  I added the Merry & Bright sentiment from the Christmas Wordie sheets to the bottom of the Stained Glass Bells.    The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8"  x  9 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

  9. Hi Sue. Not too sure about this one as I think the stained glass die looks so small in the center of the card against the larger plume dies. I think I would have put a large sentiment in the middle - sorry
