Now I had my sewing machine uncovered and started up and got to work looking for products. I thought I'd use some 'tovers in my stash and came across a stitched oval frame and decided to go with Stitched dies for this card!
(I forgot to take my camera to the craft space so I can only describe my steps in words, not pictures)
I started by blending Distress Oxide "Fired Brick" and "Abandoned Coral" on a 4 x 5.25" piece of Neena Solar white card. I then attached a "Honeycomb" in mirror gold from my 'tovers, and over that I attached a stitched border in metallic gold, also from my 'tovers.
I inked a stitched oval frame (again, from the 'tovers") and heat embossed it twice, using metallic gold embossing powder. I cut an oval of the same size as the frame from white card stock and attached the embossed frame to it. The white edges were a little glaring so I covered them with gold marker. I then stamped an image of Santa Claus in "Vintage Photo" Distress Ink inside the frame. I attached the finished frame to the card front, layered it on mirror-gold card ,and attached it to a pre-folded white 4.25 x 5.5" notecard.
I selected six dark red poinsettias from Hero Arts and sprayed them liberally with Lindy's Stamp Gang "Medieval Gold" Glitz Spritz. I layered the poinsettia blooms and attached them together with gold brads. Using foam dots, I attached the poinsettias to the card front ...
