April Rudolph Days
Nearly the end of April already and time again for the Rudolph Days Challenge. I was lucky enough to go to a Craft Show at Farnbough at the end of February, before social distancing began. I saw the die and stamp that I have used for this card on a very similar card on one of the stalls there. The die is from Precious Marieke and called Winter Flowers and the Stamp was from Nellie Snellen stamps called Deer In The Forest. I started by cutting out my frames 4 in silver mirri card and 4 in gold mirri card I then cut out 8 pieces of white card the same size as the frame. Then using a stamp press I stamped with black ink all 8 pieces the same. I then took some double sided sticky sheets and again cut them to the same size as the frames and stuck one side to the stamped image. I then removed the other side of the double sided sticky sheet and placed the frame over the top then covered the whole topper in irridescent clear glitter, this then gives the whole scene a frosty/misty look. To finish I used an A5 white card base and a sentiment die from Sue Wilson. They were really quite easy to make. As normal Maureen has got a wonderful prize for one lucky person to be picked at random. So do go and take a look at the inspiration for you this month and even join in with the fun, you can start your stash for this coming December or add to one you have already started.

These are beautiful. You were fortunate to get them right before everything started shutting down. It's nice to have cards made ahead. [Bunny]
I can quite see how you were tempted with this brilliant. die for the frame and the image could have been made for it. I was going to say what a beautiful card and then see that you've made no less than 8 - well done. The sparkle is great and I'm sure it looks even better for real.
These are lovely Sue,xx
Gorgeous makes. Those frames absolutely nail these cards. Farnborough seems like a lifetime away now. Stay safe and well. Hugs Mrs A.
Wonderful cards, I love your die cut frame.
You have made such a beautiful card as your design team inapiration work for our Rudolph Days Challenge. I thought perhaps you had used the glitter over the Sook Wang type sheet. I love the misty look...very ethereal!
That Precious Marieke die is gorgeous and looks so good with that sentiment!
Take care and hugs to both you and to Steve.

These are beautiful cards Sue! The intricate golden frames and the sparkling misty forest scene makes them look like illustrations from a fairy tale! Take care, Vicky x

A lovely set of cards Sue with the gold and white theme. I had forgotten all about the glitter technique so thanks for the reminder
