Hello everyone! I am late out of the gate with Spellbinder's August Small Die of the Month, Breezy Swing Die Set, but thought this beauty would make a magical Christmas card. I incorporated the branch and blooms from Blooming Pomegranate Die Set, August's Large Die of the Month, for the finishing touch for this unique holiday card.
Using a blending tool, Distress Ink Black Soot was applied lightly around the perimeter of a navy blue panel measuring 4 1/4" by 5 1/2".
The branch and flowers from Blooming Pomegranate Die Set were cut from a deep green, red and gold foil card stock. The flowers were assembled.
The background panel, flower and branch were spattered with slightly watered down Dr. PH Martin's BleedProof White using a fan brush.
The panel was adhered to an A2 sized, black card base.
The elements from Breezy Swing Die Set were cut from Silver Foil and a specialty card stock with flecks of iridescent cellophane. The body parts and hair were cut from white cardstock. The legs, arms and head were coloured with a COPIC marker E00.
The girl on the swing was assembled and adhered to the card front with black foam squares.
The branch was adhered to the top of card with small foam squares and the overhang was trimmed flush to the card base.
The flowers were adhered to the branch and one on the girl's hat.
The card was finished off with a puffy sentiment sticker.
