Sugar Nellie - Holly

- Hello Sugar Fans -

Well, it's Wednesday and my turn to share my Sugar Nellie card with you. This week I'm using one the new mini Gorjuss stamps, she's called Holly and she's available to buy from Funkykits. There's quite a few in the collection, as the name dictates they're 'mini' - they're made from red rubber and stamp beautifully. Now despite Holly's name she isn't actually a Christmas stamp but as you can see below I have used mine to create a festive....ish non-traditional coloured Christmas card. Hope you like it :)

Here's What I Did
I matted and layered 2 patterned co-ordinating papers onto a 7" x 7" card base, and added a strip of coloured card as a border across them both. To create the pretty frame I die cut a rectangle from crisp white card along with 2 fancy square frames. The fancy frames were then cut up and glued to the rectangle edges to create a border, I also added a little bit of glitter into the embossed corner pieces.

The image was stamped directly onto some watercolour card and die cut it into a rectangle, this was then coloured with watercolouring pens. I added a touch of glitter to the snowy hills and glued the completed topper directly onto the frame; this was then attached to my card base.

To finish off I added a stamped Christmas tag and a few die cut snowflakes.
