Card of the week 476

Instructions

Step 1
Cut a 6.5″ square mat in field green

Step 2
Cut a 6″ square white mat

Step 3
Stick the two mats together and mount onto the card blank with foam tape

Step 4
Cut two 5 3/4″ squares of white card and emboss the leaves and berries folder on each

Step 5
cut a 6″ square of field green and cut a 3″ circle in the centre

Step 6
Cut a 3 1/4″ circle in the centre of one of the embossed squares

Step 7
Using foam tape layer the green mat onto the ‘whole’ embossed white square and then the embossed square with the circle cut out onto the green mat

Step 8
Cut a few pieces of majestic ivy in white and field green card; leave the card in the die and add some colour (we’ve used a memento cottage ivy ink pad) and arrange around the aperture

Step 9
Cut some hellebore flowers in white and again leaving the card in the die apply some ink to the centre (we’ve used a memento pear tart ink pad)

Step 10
Once you’re happy with your arrangement adhere to the embossed layer

Step 11
Add a greeting – we’ve used ‘peaceful Christmas’ cut in white and field green, slightly offset and a touch of ink top and bottom

Step 12
Finish with some pearls in the flower centres and some crystal snow for sparkle
