Christmas - May the Love of Christ...

Today I made another Christmas card using a new EF, a doily from a local restaurant (kept it nice and clean and repurposed it!), a poinsettia die and a sentiment from the web. I am entering it at Joan's Touch where we are challenged to make a card with more than one layer, no stamps and a product sold at Joan's Gardens. (Items in red may be purchased there.)

Using gold ink, the raised part of the embossing is colored using a brayer; next, a gold ribbon was tied into a bow and attached diagonally to the bottom right hand corner of the embossed layer. The doily was cut in half and glued together, staggering the pattern. The sentiment is from http://heartfulstamper.blogspot.com and is printed from my computer; the edges are inked in gold, and the piece is attached with pop dots. Next, a layered poinsettia was added and gold liquid pearls were placed in the center.

Here is the card:



The following were used to make this card:

  • Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia
  • Darice Scrolls EF
  • Viva Pearl Pen Gold Liquid Pearls
  • Doily
  • Gold Ink
  • Gold Wire Edged Ribbon
  • E-Bosser (Don't know what I ever did without it!)
  • Bow Easy

Romans 10:9-11
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. NLT
