For this card, I used a new Sizzix die I got. I have never used such tiny pieces before. It was tricky because glue just wants to ooze out from the small pieces, even if you use a toothpick to apply it.
I used a pile of snippets of cardstock (see photo at right) to create the wreath, tree, and background. I also scored the gray background to create the look of clapboard siding.

Gulp, this is stunning Sandy. And if you, of all people, say it's small and fiddly then it truly is! Really lovely card and the way you even added the clapboard detail - magic! Nice to see the remains of the snippets you used as well.

It's always great to use up snippets of your papers and have such a pretty card. So glad you joined us at Die Cut Divas Christmas for our July Challenge of "Christmas in July" and always using a die cut or embossed panel.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute Christmas card! It's so festive, and I love your attention to detail with the "siding." Thanks for sharing with us at ABC Christmas, and good luck! :)
