Christmas cards made this week

Here are some Christmas cards that I have made this week.

The first 3 have been made using a Petite Gelli Plate, 

You ink up the Gelli plate and press it on to a piece of card through a stencil and you can then press it on to another piece of card without a stencil and you get the reverse pattern.

  

Got some new Christmas Washi tape and stuck it on to a strip then stuck a die cut on it, the poinsettias are from John Next Door.

Workshop Monday 3rd December.

I received my new Gemini Foil Press last week and this is the first card I have made using it for the background.

For this card I used the stamping platform to line up the flowers. I have stamped the Woodware poinsettias on white card in black and embossed them and coloured them in, then stamped on the parchment using Versamark and embossed with Honey Doo white Opal powder.

 I picked up this 3D embossing folder at Stevenage last week and cut the swirls out and rubbed over with Viva Inca Gold in brown and pink and layered the pieces over the stamped flower.
