AWH Heart Of Christmas Week 3

 

Welcome to Week 3 of the Art With Heart, Heart of Christmas.

Finally I've got my act together and started to create. It's been a very big past 12 months for me, selling up in suburban Melbourne and relocating to regional Victoria, in particular to Gippsland. I can't guarantee that I'll be sharing every week but will do my best to partake when I can. 

Anyway back to back to the matter at hand. Our weekly Christmas inspired blog hop.This year we will be hopping weekly, so hopefully we can provide you with some festive inspiration. Our host for this year's blog hop is the lovely Sharon Davern. 

This week I've gone for a fairly simple design inspired by the image on page 26 of the current Mini Catalogue. 


 As you can see the brilliance of this Suite of products is that the dies are also designed to cut images from the gorgeous DSP, and anyone who knows me knows that I will always find an alternate to fussy cutting!


 It's a bit hard to see in the photo above but the white background has been embossed using The Gathering Leaves Embossing folder. The following photo shows the embossing in a bit better detail. 


 Christmas cards always need a bit of bling and for this one I have used the gorgeous Traditional Sparkling Sequins. They come in Real Red, Gold, Old Olive and Pool Party.


 The sentiment for this card is from the Traditional Labels bundle and has been embossed using the Wow Metallic Gold Rich powder.

For the inside of the card I've used Words For The Season stamp set and added pieces from another of the Traditions of Christmas DSP. I've gone for small triangles of the paper as it reminds me of the Half Square Triangles I have been doing a lot of in my quilting lately. 


 Next on tonight's blog hop is the lovely Rosa Leydon. Click on the button below and it should take you to her blog where you can see her lovely Festive creation.

Enjoy your week.

    Beautiful card inspired by that in the catty. The gold greeting is striking on the red. Love the touches of sparkle in your card Theresa.

    A beautiful card Theresa. I love your die cut poinsettia arrangement with the added pieces of pine over the sentiment with the new embossed background. The 2 corner DSP pieces inside are a cute touch, especially mowing they are reminiscent of quilting pieces. xxx

    So good to have you back and what a sensational sparkly card, Theresa! I had to laugh at your fussy cutting aversion - you must love the dies in this suite!

    Theresa, this is a lovely card with the dry embossed white background. The gold embossed sentiment on the red is a real WOW too!
