Christmas Bauble Card x

 

Happy Friday lovelies

Hope everyone is well? Having a good week so far? It's been crazy weather up here in Scotland and busy super bust with work. Feels like all my brain cells have disappeared after designing something special coming in a few weeks, so keep your eyes peeled for a............. Tree lol

Today I'm sharing my latest tutorial over on Youtube

I love a Bauble Card and had this on my list to make for a while and with it so busy this week decided this would be the perfect time. I designed a basic babble shape for anyone that wants to make there own but in the tutorial I show how you can use your dies to make your own

I made one before the tutorial to show what to expect in lush old First Edition papers but everything els eon the cards were the same

The flowers were made with a Chloe's Creative Cards die, Christmas Magnolia that I used the pattern papers along with vellum to make. I stamped and embossed in Gold for the main card and a Slate Silver for the paler one. Both I inked up with my Distress Oxides and shaped added lots of gems and glitter

The rich blue papers on the main card are from Craft Consortium and are the Ink Drops Ocean colour way. They are the most prettiest papers EVER and you know how much I love pattern papers. I also added some older snowflakes dies to the main card

I used some Chloe's glitter on both card, above I used Blue Diamond and the gold is Dulce de Leche. Below I used Sky's the limit and soft turquoise colour with silver sparkle

I added the glitter to the middle of the flowers with my gems along with the paler blue having embossed stamens and the main card I added gold glitter to the stamens 

But which one is your favourite? I can't decide? The pale is so pretty and the bold just pops

You can find the tutorial here plus in the description there is a link to a free Template so you can make your own. I can't wait to see what your version will look like

Until next time
