Warm Winter Wishes
Hello bloggers! I just had to have a play with one of Jamie's newest embossing folders for today's card. I started by embossing the Regal Swirls embossing folder with a piece of white card. Next, I cut the inside die focal element from the Holly Wreath Octagon using two pieces of white card. I used the embossed copy to colour in the berries with a silver paint pen, but I didn't have a working gold pen so I decided to paper piece the remainder of the wreath. I added mounting foam to the back and added it to a piece of white card that I had glittered with Diamond White glitter. I matted it with a silver piece cut with the Double Stitched Squares. I added that to the centre of the embossed background. I cut the Warm Winter Wishes sentiment from the Festive Wordies and matted it with silver and gold card. I added it to the bottom of the card with mounting foam. The card was completed with white and gold mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 7 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
