Good Morning Everyone
I made this little card using some die cuts and some flowers.  I hope you like it.

• I designed and cut the card using my Brother Scan and Cut.
• Assembled the basic card and layers.
• Used a die cut to make the fancy border on the white mat then put it through an embossing folder to add some interest.
• Die cut  various sizes of fancy circles and layered them together onto the card base with foam pads
• Die cut the bottle and glass in silver and pink card and paper pieced together.  Added to card with glue gel.
• Used some flowers from my stash and some die cut foliage around the edge of the circle.
• Weaved some thin ribbon through the bottom edge and finished off with a bow

Christmas Greetings

Good Morning

Hope you are all getting well prepared for Christmas.  Sorry about my picture today, it seems to be very light.  It is a much deeper shade in real life! Once again I used the Gnomes Stamps from Colourific for this card.  I have also used a small Christmas tree from on of the other Christmas Stamp Sets.  You can find all the stamps I used and many more on the Colourific Website. 

Materials Used:

A5 Gnomes

A5 Trees

11.5 x 21cm Kraft Card Blank

10.75 x 19.25cm Gold Mirri Mat

9.5 x 19cm Kraft Card Mat

Various colours of distress inks

Glitter Glue

• Using a little piece of double sided tape I secured the smaller piece of kraft card centrally onto the card blank then secured these layers onto a Stamping Platform with magnets.
• Stamped the Gnome with Vintage Photo Distress ink onto 9.5x19.25cm Kraft Card.  Leaving the card on the stamping platform  I Sprayed with water and let the dye seep outwards.  Used a paintbrush to bring it out a little further. 
• Keeping the card still in place on the stamping platform, put some Vintage Photo Distress Ink and Green Dye ink onto glass mat. Using water and paint brush I painted the Gnome with muted colours of the inks.  When this was dry, I stamped over the image.
• Still keeping the work on the Stamping Platform, I put a mask over the Gnome and used the small Christmas Tree to stamp a border around the 2 layers of card.
• Remove from stamping platform and separate the 2 layers of card.  Mat the image onto the Gold mat, and using foam pads mount it onto the Kraft Card making sure the border of trees match up.
• To finish off I added a Christmas Greeting layered onto a piece of gold mirri card. 
• Used glitter glue for the pompom, beard and stars.

           Thank you for looking, and happy crafting.
