May Your Days Be Merry & Bright
Good Sunday morning all! I started with a piece of milk card and embossed it with the Nordic Tiles embossing folder. I cut the piece of a diagonal and added mounting foam to the backs of both pieces. I scored a piece of antique gold card and attached the two pieces to it with a gap in between showing the scored card. I added two thin strips of gold card to each of the sides surrounding the gap. Using the Build A Wreath die, I cut the wreath out of antique gold twice and once out of gold mirror card and layered it together to create a fuller wreath. I added a double milk coloured bow, glued it to the top of the wreath and added twigs as accents. I added small milk berries to the wreath as well. I cut the May Your Days Be Merry & Bright sentiment out of both gold and black card. I shadowed the gold die cut then glued it to a shadow backing piece. I added it at the bottom of the card with mounting foam. The card was completed with milk mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 9 1/4" in size.
