May Your Days be Merry & Bright
Hello there my crafty friends! I selected a piece of pixied card from my background stash pile. I used Midnight Blue and Purple Violet Pixie Powders on it then used a paint brush and blended the colours together. I cut the Moonlight Sleigh Cover Plate out of black card. I added custard card behind the windows in all the buildings. I glued the Cover Plate die to the pixied background. I cut the die a second time out of white card and nipped away the Santa, sleigh and reindeer and glued them on top of the black die cut. I matted it with white and black mats, then added it to a larger piece of white card. I cut the May Your Days Be Merry & Bright sentiment in black ,then added it to a white shadow backing die. I added mounting foam to the back then attached it below the Cover Plate die. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8 1/4" in size.
Good Morning Sue and all that visit today. A beautiful card sample today Sue. I am loving the night sky background with the silhouette santa, sleigh and riendeers. Great for all age groups too. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well 🙏 . Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds

ReplyDeleteHi Sue, I love this card and the die which although a bit fiddly (especially the antlers!) is worth the effort for the end result.
