Christmas Flowers


Good Morning Everyone, it's starting to be a very busy week for me, but I'm here today to show you one of my latest Christmas cards using the Crealies Dies. Today's my last week as a guest designer for Crealies, and I want to thank Annelies for letting me work with some of their fabulous dies. I've enjoyed being able to show you the different flowers, borders, rosettes and doily elements and how to use them in creative ways, and I hope you've enjoyed seeing what I've made using the dies.

Today's card features one of the Bildmalarna stamps called Mimosa Gingerbread, which I stamped onto white card, colored with Copics, cut out, and mounted onto Kraft cardstock, then mounted onto the floral oval, all edges have been inked with Gathered Twigs distress ink.
I've used Crealies Border 20 behind the image and put a border across it with paper, then another border underneath it again inking with the same distress ink.
The flowers at the bottom framing the image were created using the Creative Flowers CF17, cutting them out using Christmas paper and then I put a tiny rose in the centres for a little more  color. The lovely holly leaves are from the Creative Shapes CS17. I've added some rosebuds, red berries on strands and some red pearls for berries.

I hope you like what I've created, and thanks for stopping by today. Don't forget to enter my blog candy here. It ends Dec 15th.

I'm entering my card into the following challenges
Lady Anne's Challenge - Anything Goes
