Merry Christmas | Dilay Nacar

Hello and welcome back, Pinkfresh Studio friends! Dee here today with this soft and pretty pastel holiday card featuring beautiful new products from the September release!

I first created the background by cutting the Fancy Diagonal Die and adhering it to an A2-sized card base. Next, I cut the Fancy Oval Frame Die three times, stacked and adhered them together, and set that aside.

To create the foliage, I stenciled the Festive Leaves Background with ink colors in Fresh Pear, Mint, and Ballet Slipper, then cut them with the coordinating die. I arranged them into a cluster and then adhered them onto the Fancy Oval Frame, tucking and trimming off any excess.

Next, I foiled the Ornaments Hot Foil Plate. I used their coordinating stencils to color them using Fresh Pear, Mind, Ballet Slipper, and Lemon Whip inks, gradually intensifying the color with each layer. Once complete, I cut them with the coordinating die and adhered two of the ornaments to the frame with foam tape (saving the rest for another card!) For a little extra detail, I added small metallic gold bows to each ornament.

For the sentiment, I foiled the new Brushed Sentiments Holiday, die-cut it, then adhered it to the center of the frame. To finish, I added a few Clear Drops Iridescent embellishments for some extra sparkle! I hope you enjoyed reading more about this card and are inspired to create something new, too! Thank you so much for joining me today!
