Joyful Christms Card

 Hello again, I've got a simple Christmas card to share today.

 

Paper Rose Supplies Used: Floral Christmas Coverplate Metal Cutting Die 32466, Floral Holly Christmas Wreath Metal Cutting Die 32469, Fancy Script Layered Joy Metal Cutting Die 32454

This is an A2 sized card and I started by die cutting the floral coverplate die from white cardstock.  I used this as a stencil to then add a little ink onto my card front.  I used a lighter blue-green ink and then went back in with a darker shade closer to the center of the stems.  Finally, I added some Distress Grit Paste in Snowfall which gives it a nice frosty look.  

While the card front was drying, I die cut the wreath from vellum and once from white cardstock.  I added some ink to the cardstock wreath and then covered it with VersaMark ink before adding some clear sparkle embossing powder and heat setting this. I added a thin strip of foam tape to the back circle of the wreath and attached it to the vellum wreath, offsetting them slightly.  

Before assembling my card, I trimmed the front cover down and cut a piece of gold glitter cardstock behind it.  I used glue to attach the wreath and set it under an acrylic block to dry.  I cut the Joy from the same gold glitter cardstock once and twice more from white cardstock and layered these up with glue.  I used the shadow die to cut an outline from vellum and then glued the Joy word in place.  I put some foam tape under the center of the Joy word where it fit inside the wreath, and used glue on the outer edges to attach the sentiment in place. Finally, I added a few gold pearls sporadically around the card.

Thanks for stopping by everyone, and I hope you're having a great day!
