Paper:
   Cherry Cobbler A-2
   Warmth & Cheer DSP 2-1/2 x 4-1/4
   Basic Black 4-1/4 x 1/4, 3-1/2 x 2-1/2
   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:
   Archival Basic Black

Technique:
   Die Cutting
   Dry Embossing

Accessories:
   Layering Ovals Framelits 
   Cable Knit Embossing Folder
   White Gel Pen
   Dimensionals
   Adhesive

First, I stamped and die cut my sentiment using the Layering Ovals Framelits and Basic White cardstock. 

I then cut the next larger scalloped oval in Basic Black, and placed a white dot on each scallop using a white gel pen.

I adhered these two layers together using liquid adhesive. This was attached to the top of the card front using dimensionals.

Next, I dry embossed the Warmth & Cheer DSP panel using the Cable Knit Embossing Folder. I did spray a bit of water on the DSP to prevent tearing.

I adhered the DSP to the bottom of the card using liquid adhesive.

I added a thin strip of Basic Black to cover the seam and pull the card together.

Lastly, I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

You can easily dress this up more by adding rhinestones, pearls, sequins, or snowflakes.

    1. Thank you, Sharon. I always forget about my gel pen. It took me a while to get it going. I think they dry up if it is not used. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
