Happy Holidays...

 Hello!  I'm back with another project using new dies from the Becca Feeken for Spellbinders Fluted Classic collection.  This time I am using the Fluted Classics Ovals etched dies.  (Compensated affiliate links used where possible.  By using my links I earn a small commission at no cost to you.  Thank you for your support.)


I was inspired by one of the inspiration photos for the Inspired By challenge of white Christmas.  I tried to pull in various elements from the inspiration photo into my card.  The largest oval in the Fluted Classics ovals set is bigger than an A2 sized card so I decided to create a shaped card with it.   To create the card I scored a 8.5 x 11 sheet of thin white cardstock in half.  I then placed the large oval cutting die and the die that creates the fluted edge on the cardstock making sure that part of the die hung over.  This allows me to create a hinge on my card base.  I then found some patterned paper that had a woodgrain pattern with white snowflakes on it and die cut the oval again.  This was layered on my card base.  I then used a plain oval to die cut white glitter cardstock and layered that on my card base.  The final oval was die cut with a smaller oval die and the coordinating fluted edge from white cardstock.   The sentiment is from the Becca Feeken Mosaic Bracket Card Builder die set.  The words were die cut from silver glitter cardstock, once more from white cardstock and then adhered together.  I die cut the shadow die from white cardstock as well.   I used the Christmas Blooms die set to create the little poinsettias from white cardstock and the leaves and little pine branches from the silver.  I added Crystal Mix Color Essentials gems to the centers of the flowers.  I popped up the white oval on the card base and then added the sentiments and flowers, branches and leaves. 


Here is a photo of the card showing how is stands quite nicely.  I just love how this card turned out!


Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day!
