Almost entirely die cut Christmas card (one word of greeting was stamped), w\/ a lovely pierced herringbone pattern background & brushed gold Christmas bells. I used a couple of techniques when die cutting the designer paper that are worth checking out (links provided).

A big congrats to Mimi, the newest Featured Stamper (FS862)! She has such a gorgeous gallery & while I adore watercolor, since her gallery is all beautiful watercolors, I went w\/ an entirely die cut card. THIS<\/a><\/strong><\/span> is Mimi’s card I chose to case. I kept the Christmas theme & colors, but used die cuts & a pierced background instead of watercolor. The layout was kept similar, w\/ most of the detail down the left side, but I used designer paper for my left side strip instead of pine boughs.<\/span>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAfter I die cut the bells, bow & Merry part of the greeting, I used a circle die to cut the pearl shimmer paper behind the bells then put them together. The Christmas word was stamped onto a flag w\/ the Merry attached above it. The white background was die cut w\/ a stitched rectangle, then I used a background cover piercing die that reminds me of herringbone. For the side strip I used just a section of designer paper w\/ a mini slimline die & used my out of the box method<\/a><\/span> to cut the part w\/ just the bells. I also resized<\/a><\/span> this die to make it narrower. I used the same die to cut the pine green layer behind it.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nSince the bells were die cut out of brushed gold, I used that & a light gold for some of the holly leaves. A darker gold & 2 shades of pine green were used for the topmost holly leaves.
