Decandent Teal & Ivory - Christmas Blessings

Good Morning Everyone

Thank you all for the lovely comments and emails you keep sending, its lovely to read them all, I appreciate you taking the time to do this,

On with today's card an 8 x 8 Christmas Card

Product Used:- (which are also links to Phill's website) :-)


Teal Card Stock
Ivory Card Stock
Decadent Teal Colour Cloud Ink
Decadent Teal Twinkles
Christmas Holly Background Stamp
Christmas Holly Sentiment Stamp
Sue Wilson Die - Caribbean Collection - St Kitts
Spellbinder Die Create-a-Flake Three
Creative Expressions Clear Micro Glass Beads
A4 Self Adhesive Sheets
Seam Binding
Small & Medium Dazzlers


























First I made an 8 x 8 card in Teal by cutting 20cm x 20cm sq
and 20cm x 23cm
score and join on the reverse

Matting & Layering:

19.5cm sq Ivory Card
19cm sq Teal Card
18.5cm sq Ivory Card

Then attach all these flat to the card.

Using a piece of  Ivory Card cut to 18cm sq I created the background using Decadent Teal Colour Cloud and the Christmas Holly Background Stamp.
Once this was dry I cut a piece of the Self Adhesive Sheeet to 18cm sq.
After carefully removing the backing sheet, after carefully removing the backing sheet I covered the card with Micro Beads. ( I used a shallow box for this then poured the surplus beads back into the jar). I then attached this to the card.








Sentiment:
 Using the 2 largest dies I cut these out in Ivory and backed onto Teal Card.

With the 3rd largest I cut this out in Ivory and stamped the  Sentiment using Decadent Teal Colour Cloud Ink. Then attached these to the card using pads.

 Finishing Touches:

Using dies Create-a-Flake 3 I cut several out in both Ivory and Teal, shaped and attached to the card. Then added a small Dazzler to centres.

Making a triple bow and swags with Teal Seam Binding I attached this to the card and added a Medium Dazzler.

Finally I edged around the outer edge of the sentiment with Decadent Teal Twinkles and Glamour Dust around the inner and snowflakes.

                                                           Happy Crafting
