Hi Everyone, today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing with
you my latest Festive card making a Christmas Wreath for my sweet little Robin
to sit on.
I started by matting and layering my first few chosen
layers adding Stickles and Distress ink around the edges. You will also notice
on my top layer I highlighted all the pierced holes with a red Fine Liner Pen
and scattered some Frantage embossing Powder for a snowy effect.
My Wreath was cut out 3 times and my base layer was cut
in half and slightly offset to give the illusion of more foliage gluing
another layer on top. My final layer I added heat set Mistletoe coloured
embossing powder onto the foliage this gave it added sparkle and detail.
My Robin was shaded with Distress Inks and some Black
Liquid Pearls added to his eye. My Candy Canes are from the Build a Tree set, I
die cut them in White cardstock and added some red with a Fine Liner Pen.
My wording was heat embossed with Red Tinsel and offset
onto Green Card Stock for a shadow effect.
Finishing off with my Pretty Bow.
Thanks for stopping by today and for your continued visits and comments, I really appreciate them.
Crafty Hugs,
Julie x
