Hope you have enjoyed, or are still enjoying, your weekend. After playing 'domestic goddess' this morning, I hid myself in my studio, and made another 2 cards. This is one of them.
I was quite pleased with how it turned out, despite the fact that it looked nothing like this in my mind before I began. The base card is actually dark green, but looks black in all the photos I took.
The holly berries have been given a touch of 3D lacquer.
A close-up of the poinsettia, made with the Spellbinders die, 3D mini foam dots, and 3 tiny gems.
Inside the card, decorated to match the front.
