Christmas Ivy

Morning my crafting friends, hope you are all enjoying the Bank Holiday weekend, lets hope the weather holds just  a little longer.  

For todays post I thought I would try a Sheena Douglass idea that she showed recently on her TV shows, I often wonder whether I could make them look as good as she does lol!

So, using the acetate packaging from her folder I embossed the Ivy Frame then rubbed Cast Bronze Gilding Wax over the embossed areas. turning the acetate over I coloured in the Ivy with Spectrum Noirs and put to one side.

Using some Black Soot I stamped my sentiment onto some White card, die cut it out and inked round the die with Forest moss. I placed this in the center of some White card and attached the acetate over the top with some brads.

I matted this up with Gold & Green Card. The dimensions are 7"X5".

I was quite pleased with how it turned out, not quite as good as Sheena's but good enough I think!
