Its creative expressions design team day and as promised I made a version of the Ornate Noble pierced card from a couple of weeks ago as a Christmas card.
I stated by making a card blank, form coconut white foundation card, by using the largest die in the set. Next I made a filigree frame using the largest die no1 and no 2 and three together to make a frame with the detail. Next I cut just a frame using dies 1 and three form coconut white card onto which I had added a
sheet of double sided adhesive. I slipped the backing off and placed the filigree frame over this leaving the sticky showing through the filigree sections. I then added iced snow and rubbed of the excess which leaves this glittered white on white finish.
I foam mounted the fame on and using the next die in the set, no 4, i cut out an aperture in the centre which I backed with heat resistant acetate (the heat resistant has the right stability for this). Next I die cut the let it snow die using the piece of card form the centre of the frame that had the DS adhesive sheet on it,
I removed the protective film and covered the whole sentiment in iced snow. This was placed over the aperture and a piece of vintage silver foundation card was added on the inside back go the card so It frames and shines through the sentiment.
Finally I added a die cut of the illuminated three die again cut form card with adhesive sheet and covered in iced snow. I placed PVA pearl dots, using cosmic pearl PVA, on all the junctions of the filigree frame and added a small white seam binding bow and silver dazzler to finish.

Morning John,
ReplyDeleteWhat Can I Say Other Than Today's Card Is Truly "Exquisite, Elegant,"
A True Masterpiece I Really Love Everything About It, So Very "Rich And Opulent"
John Thanks For Sharing.
I'm Sorry I Didn't Comment Yesterday But I Had A Really Hectic Day I Must Say I'm A Huge Fan Of MDF Items I Started A Few Years Ago When I Met A Young Man At One Of The Shows He Goes To Ally Pally And Is Always Exceptionally Busy His Company Name Is Simply The MDF MAN He Used To Do Workshops With Another Very Talented Lady, Called Clare Whom Works For Graphic Designs So They Always Used Graphic Design Papers Which I Adore.
Thank You John For Sharing Today's "Rich Opulent Card" And The MDF Goodies From Yesterday.
Hugs From Sam x

ReplyDeleteWow wow wow. I just love this white sparkly card. Must have another go at using the adhesive sheet with the let it snow. I tried this for last years Christmas card, but it didn't work. Not to sure why, the sticky wouldn't peel off. Must do better next time. I'm definitely going to try this one.
Oh John I love this card it just shouts Christmas.- Stunning!
