.
Not much to do to add to it so I simply applied to red card stock and trimmed to follow the shape and then added my customary acetate front. I added gold leaves and edging strips to define the shape of the card front inside. Added a tartan trim with a bow and declared it finished.
Then knowing that I had the Ivy Corner Die by Joanna Sheen I wondered if I could try and make the same sort of card using my christmas supplies and this is the result.
I cut a cream base to match the card above and then made a second red base card. The ivy die was cut from dark green card and another quick rootle through my stash of dies turned up Fancy Blossoms and Norland Flower both by Memory box and I used a combination of the two to make the christmas roses up. The roses I just die cut from white card and then painted the tips yellow with a water colour marker and a paint brush dipped in water. The stamens were cut from yellow card. Sentiment is a Britannia die cut and I added a few stickle to the veins on the ivy
