| An effective card using three main elements. A die cut shape using an Italian Collection die from Creative Expressions, The beautiful Wreath stencil from Sweet Poppy Stencils and a free sentiment from a magazine mounted on the circle from the same die set. An embossed background to layer it all on. I did cut the die twice to give it body to take the glitter paste. Still goes out on normal posting so think this may well be one of my batch makes! www.creative-expressions.uk.com www.sweet-poppy.co.uk |

| My card was based on a Demo Sue Wilson did over the weekend on TV. Hill foreground first and then the colours and then more Ink. I mainly used Hickory Smoke and Black Soot for the darker areas and Memento Inks for the Colours. Thick black card and a deep embosss on the Winter Trees dies and Gilding wax from Creative Expressions ( pewter I think) lightly applied and then buffed up. The sentiment was die cut in black and white and shadowed so the white was in the background to soften the look . White pen for the mass of stars and to highlight the edge of the trees. ********************************* |
