Mixed Media Christmas Card

Hi Everyone, today I am sharing some Festive Inspiration using the new Royal Scandinavian Doily from Cheery Lynn Designs for my DT card.

I die cut out my Doily and Corners and heat embossed with a Gold Tinsel Embossing Powder, layering on to my patterned cardstock.

Next I started to cut out my Candlelight die 3 times, so I had plenty parts to build up my layers for texture. My foliage was shaded with Copics, shaped on my embossing mat and layered up a few times. My Poinsettia was also shaded with Copics, layering in my shaped petals and adding a little Gold Flower Soft to the centre.

My candles were layered twice. On the top section I brushed on some Beeswax which I had melted in my Meltpot. I then added some drips of wax and once set highlighted with Gilding Wax. My flames were shaded with Copics and some Glossy Accents added onto them.

I do hope you have enjoyed my techniques and feel inspired to try them out on your die cuts.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Dove Card

Hi Everyone, today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am showcasing the Peace Dove, a very elegant bird die with the most beautiful detail.

My layers are cut out in white and a pearlised lemon shade. This photo shows my first set of layers. I love the added detail the stitching stackers give to the edge of a card. I used my corners from the Royal Scandinavain Tag Set and added some gems on to it.

My next layers I also added some gems and layered with Silicone Glue for height and dimension.

My Dove I added some Distress Ink to the edges curling the wings slightly and adding a little lemon card behind to highlight the Dove's detail and a little gem on to its eye.

Finally adding all my layers together to finish.

Thanks for stopping by today.

The Pierced Stackers are fab - notice all the little holes around the edges, such a pretty finish to the edge. 

The new Leafy Flourish comes in a set of 2 and is so pretty with the little flowers. I cut it out in plain cardstock and layered on a die cut layer of pattern cardstock for my flowers.
