More Christmas Baubles

Finished off a couple of Christmas cards this morning... both featuring Christmas Baubles  ...  and using the Weekly IDEAS prompt from Darnell... it's "E" - Embossing

My first card features Dry Embossing... I die cut a bauble and using part of an embossing folder embossed the poinsettia - then mixing some pearl powdered pigment to my pink distress ink - painted the image leaving the flower white..  gold painted the centers and hanger.  To finish I attached my embossed background to a pink card layer onto a white card and added some foliage and string.

For my next card I used the die cut baubles and painted them too with sparkly pink... then I white heat embossed some poinsettia flowers and attached them to green patterned paper with silver strings and added a silver heat embossed sentiment to a white card before attaching the panel.

Christmas Wreaths

Busy with my dies today making wreath cards adding a couple more cards to add to my Christmas stash...

My first was quite easy as I used a holly wreath die and all I needed to do was die cut the berries again in red and the little bow in gold and attach them - glitzed up with some glitter glue and attached to an embossed background, then finished with a die cut sentiment...  the die is from my NBUS stash so I'm joining in the fun at NBUS #77.  

My second card took a bit longer with me die cutting various Christmas foliage and smooching them in green Distress Inks, also some red berries...  then the tricky part trying to arrange them in a circle shape and gluing them down without messing up the plan... then it all looked a bit sparce, so I stamped on a few extra leaves and finished with a gold die cut sentiment and attached the panel to a green card.

With my wreaths I am joining in with Christmas Kickstart challenge #101 - Let's Wreath It Up.  

And also with Darnell's weekly IDEAS prompt - second week 'D' for Dies.
