Happy Pearl Wedding Anniversary Lisa and Paul

My lovely friend Liz gave me a die (Die'sire Decadence) for my birthday and this is the first card I have created with it. I used some pearly card from my stash to cut with the die. I cut the centre twice and off set the first one, adding the second over the top in the original position.

I added the lettering with the QuicKutz - Mini Moxi Unicase Alphabet Dies

The die cuts were arreanged on a 6" x 6" card cut from cream Bazzill Basics Cardstock

Tiny flat-backed self adhesive pearls were added to the front of the card. 

The layers are raised up on 3 dimensional sticky foam pads.

Happy Anniversary Lisa and Paul!

These cards are fun if a little fiddly to create, but worth the effort for those special people you want to send greeting to at Christmas.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care

This card reminds me of the Christmas poem 'Twas the night before Christmas.

Lots of little bits and pieces to die cut and attach, the flower centers were added with Liquid Pearls. After embossing the fireplace Distress Ink was stenciled through the die. Basic Grey - Figgy Pudding paper was used for the wall paper.
