Heartfelt Creations Christmas Gate....

Good morning my friends and welcome to another Inspiration Wednesday with Heartfelt Creations.  I'm here to share a card with you called Christmas Gate!  It is a shaped card and I love how it turned out! You can see my card and all the instructions plus all the supplies used in the Heartfelt Creations Gallery.

I used Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper to make my card base along with the Royal Gateway die.  Cut a piece of Sheet 10B of the paper collection to cover the front of the shaped card.  Using the inner piece of the Royal Gateway die cut one piece using Luxe Gold cardstock and one piece using white cardstock.  Stagger the two pieces so the gold shows through behind the white piece and glue together.  Adhere to the card front.

Using Luxe Gold cardstock, cut the inner piece of the Seasonal Wreath die and glue to the front of the gate.  Using Rich Cocoa ink, stamp the pieces of the Winter Wreath stamps onto a piece of the Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper and use the coordinating dies to die cut the pieces. I stamped the holy leaves with Fern Green ink and colored with Leaf Green ink.  I accented the holy with Olive ink.  Use the coordinating dies to cut out the pieces.  I colored the berries and fruit with Rhubarb Stalk and the pine cones were colored with Toffee Crunch and Rich Cocoa. All the ink was applied using the Stack and Store Daubers. I used the Deluxe Flower Shaping kit to shape the different elements and then I used hot glue to adhere to the top of the gold wreath.  

Cut a length of white seam binding and color using Rhubarb Stalk ink.  This is done by balling the seam binding and spraying with water to saturate.  Then smush ink onto a work surface and swirl the wet seam binding through the ink and then leave to dry.  Tie a double bow and use Scor-Tape and hot glue to adhere to the top of the wreath.

Happy Holidays!
