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.  


All for now, Sue x
