Merry Christmas

Hello crafters!  I selected a piece of white card to use as the background, but also wanted to have some embossing on it too.  So I cut another piece of white card on the diagonal and embossed it with the Falling Snow embossing folder.  I taped it to the bottom of the white background card.  Next I cut the Holly Lattice Border with a piece of black card on top of a piece of white card.  I used the white card to colour the design using a gold paint pen for the holly leaves and a silver paint pen for the berries.  I rubbed some dries clear glue onto the lattice section and then glittered it with Diamond White glitter.  I glued the black die cut on top and then mounted it diagonally across the card where the join was between the two background sections.  I cut two Pierced Poinsettias out of white gloss card and assembled the pieces then glued them into place at the edge of the border.  I used gold centres for the flowers.  I cut several of the Heirloom Flourishes as accents and added them around the flowers.  I cut the Merry Christmas sentiment out of both antique gold and gold mirror card.  I used the gold mirror card as an offset shadow behind the antique gold die cut then glued it to the top section of the card.  Thee card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8" x  8 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x
