Hi Everybody,Here's another one to go in my Christmas store and I am getting quite a selection ready to send now .... how sad is that when it's only August.
I am not usually this early with cards for Christmas but I have a lot of plates juggling at present and so I need to be organised.
To the card ..... This one is made using a lovely antique gold and white card.
The base is white with another layer on top that has been embossed with the Dainty Dots A4 folder from Spellbinders.
The gold layer has been hand cut in the FauxNesties style and then the white layer is suing one of the new 8 x 8 folders from Crafters Companion
This folder is called Seasonal Music and I have rubbed gold embossing paste over the surface to enhance the notes.
(And just as a side line for those who asked me about the Ebosser .... it is now back in stock with Crafters Companion)
The Poinsettias are from the Tattered Lace and they have been cut from the white and the gold and layered up alternatively.... with a pearl centre.
The gold organza ribbon finishes the card and the inside is lined with gold and white layers.
I would like to stress that the pictures at the bottom of the post are for you to see which Spellbinders have been used ... it is up to you to source them in your own country at the price you want to pay.
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx
Very elegant Christina, xxx

Gorgeous Christmas card this is. I make Christmas Card all year around already starting in January. It's a good feeling to already have them and not having the stress in December. I love this one you've made. Maybe going to try something like this myself as well. Hugs Lotte
ReplyDeleteOnce again Christina, another beautiful card. I love the embossing folder, (this one is on my wish list) and the gold embossing paste that you used over the top. Love it. Hugs, Jen x

So very elegant! Loved the music embossing folder, and I will have to try to find one. I always make our Christmas cards, but usually choose a simpler design. You are inspiring me to do more! BethAnn M.
