Merry Christmas ~ Die~Namites Dies

HOWDY DIE~NAMITES FANS!!!

I used DT member Dunja Dücker's
November's Sketch and Die~Namites Challenge!


There is ONE IMPORTANT THING.....
you must use at least ONE Die~Namites Die!


Dunja's challenge ~ use BLING in your creation!
Here is the card I created using
the sketch as a basis!


I used the Holly Branch die


I die~cut many of the Holly Branches from
Coordinations ~ Distress Cardstock.


I, then, ran the Holly Branch
through an embossing folder.
Then, using Gold ~ Precious Metal Effect Paint,
I went around the edges of the holly leaves.


I hydrated a Chestnut Brown ~ Twinkling H20,
then I painted the "branches" of the die~cut.
On the "berries" I added a bit of
Red ~ Viva Colour ~ German Glitter.


I used the "Decked Out" Collection by Splash of Color
for the card base. My oval was created using
some wire wrapped with burlap strands.

What a WONDERFUL TIME
I had using this sketch!!

head to Die~Namites Dies blog to begin the hop!!

Here is my creation.....


I used three Die~Namites for my Christmas Canvas.



First I painted 2 pieces of 
Canvas Corp Kraft Chipboard Handmade Paper
cut to the size of the Pretty Poinsettia die,
with Carmen ~ Silk Acrylic Glaze
I then die cut the Pretty Poinsettia image.

I applied double sided tape to the back of the
diecut image to keep the "cutout" pieces intact.
Being careful to only "stick" the ends so
I could "mould" the pieces.


I then adhered "moulded pieces" from the other
diecut Pretty Poinsettia image
over the above diecut
to create the ultimate 3~D Pretty Poinsettia.

I then cut 2 each of the Elegant Holly and Holly Branch
from a piece of Canvas Corp Linen Paper.


I painted on a layer of Olive Vine Twinkling H20's
and then went around the edges of Holly 
with Rainforest Twinkling H20's to add depth.



Now head on over to Die~Namites Dies blog.
