I used a sentiment from the Christmas Nested frames and Occasions set on the outside, and used one from the Christmas Nested Sentiments on the inside. I decided to do a fairly simple card, and really enjoyed making it. I die cut the pine branches in three different greens and added white Perfect Puff to them. That stuff is so much fun to use, you apply it and then gently heat it and it puffs up.
I used a MS border punch, and then after chasing the little snowflakes around for a while (the fan was on), I painted them (yep, I'm crazy)with a shimmery pearl white paint, and glued them to the wreath.
I love the look of mirror paper on Xmas cards (ooh, shiny!)
I know some of you are waiting to hear about my new eBosser, but I used my trusty old Cuttlebug to cut these great Impression Obsession dies. I'm still getting to know the new machine and I'll post about it another time.

I was thinking "I like the shiny paper" and you said the same. Lol.
ReplyDeleteNo, you are not crazy for painting the wee flakes because they look great on the wreath! It is such a sweet and heart warming card, Shona! Just what Christmas is. :)
