As promised in my previous post, here is a second non Christmas card made with Close to My Heart's Christmas paper, Yuletide Carol, this one based on this week's Mojo Monday sketch. I deviated a little from the sketch because I thought the tag looked better at an angle rather than straight across.
I embossed the Champagne piece using Cuttlebug's Tiffany frame folder and then very carefully trimmed it with a rotary trimmer. I have two trimmers, a Frisker's which I use most of the time and can be used cut out corners and a Cutterpede rotary trimmer which is handy for very precise cuts or when you need to trim just a smidge off of an edge. I used a border punch from ek Success to make the bit of lace and then sponged all the pieces with Cashmere ink to give an aged, romantic feel.
I embellished the card with the rose and a filigree piece from the Yuletide Carol Assortment and some ribbon that I bought ages ago from I do not remember where. Because the rose overlaps the filigree piece and knot of the ribbon, I put a bit of foam tape under it on that side only. This provided the needed lift while allowing the outer edge of the rose to appear to lay flat on the card. Here is a close up:
Here is the inside:
Tomorrow, October 13th, is our anniversary, and yes, we got married on a Friday. I never thought that I would be making an anniversary card using Christmas paper! Do you think Tim will figure it out? Thank you for stopping by! Until next time, Hansi
