My Christmas Wish
Instructions:
Card size: 4 3/4 x 6 3/4". Make a shaped card by placing the outer die of the Decorative Circle Frames Die over a 7 x 10" piece of white cardstock folded in half. The die will hang over the top fold about 1/4". Now cut another card front with the same die from white cardstock and from gold decorative paper, glue them together then glue them to the card front.
Now use the outer die and the next die in to create a red decorative paper frame. Glue it onto card front matching edges. Use the same die without the outer die to cut the decorative front of card from red paper with décor on it, optional, cut a green layer with the same die. If you cut one from green and one from red decorative paper, then glue them together off-set with green on the bottom, it doesn’t show enough so I would skip the green. Glue the decorative die cut to the card front inside the red frame.
Cut a red decorative paper Eyelet circle from the Decorative Circle Frames Die, a gold decorative circle from Circle Basics Large and a sentiment from the decorative paper with Eyelet Circle and Basics Small, just large enough to fit the words. For popping some of these layers up, cut circles large and small from a foam sheet like Fun Foam, the red eyelet circle is popped up as well as the sentiment circle.
Stamp 6 small poinsettia from the Large Festive Poinsettia using Vermillion Ink, stamp 2 of each size poinsettia from the Small Festive Poinsettia using Vermillion Ink, sponge fronts and backs of the poinsettias with Carnation Red, if you get some red on the stamen it’s ok. Stamp the Stamen using Cantaloup Memento, sponge with Scattered Straw Distress Ink. Stamp the leaves from Small Festive Poinsettia and from the Holly Berry Sprays using Fern Green then sponging fronts and backs with Leaf Green. Once all these are die cut go back again and sponge the edges. Shape in the Shaping Molds and with the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit. Glue 2 of each flower size together to form 5 flowers. Glue 2 to 3 stamen together for each flower then glue them to the flower centers.
Add gold/yellow pearls to the outer frame of card and to the red eyelet circle, add red pearls to the gold paper circle. Now arrange flowers and leaves around the circle sentiment and glue.
Glitter all flowers and card base. Mix lacquer with shimmer and paint on all the greenery.
