This card is a bit of an homage to Sue Wilson of Particraft - you can see the original card here - I hope she doesn't mind. Of course, I've used a completely different card base, greeting stamp, design paper, embossing folder, and pearl embellishments. Only the Holly Accent die is the same, the Holly Motif is not - otherwise it's in the same style as Sue's card. Apart from the card base, all the materials are leftover bits and bobs from my snippet mountain.
This insert was the very devil to photograph because of the card length. I used the 'template' left after removing the Holly Accent border die and sponged it with a soft green ink to form the border.
The back is decorated with a leftover from another earlier die-cutting session - also from the Holly Accents set.
Materials List:
- Cardstock: Shaped white card base & Neenah Solar White Ultra Smooth - both from Create & Craft; Papermania Textured Card in Green
- Design Paper: Red tartan paper from Madaboutcards
- Insert: white copy paper
- Stamp: Papercraft Essentials free Polkadoodles stamp set
- Dies & Embossing: Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia, Holly Motifs, Holly Accents. Flourish Accents; Cuttlebug All-in-One Twinkle embossing plate
- Sundries: Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad; Studio G green (VP0003) ink pad; flat-backed pearls

Hi Elizabeth
ReplyDeleteWow!!
What a gorgeous make and it also uses up lots of those pesky white snippets that never, ever, ever seem to reduce!! LOL!!!
Love all the embossing and die cutting and the die on the back of your creation is super yummy.
The tartan makes a very dramatic statement and I love it!!
Thank you for entering the Handy Hippo prize draw (good luck) and for sharing your lovely make in the snippet playground this week.
