Christmas Duo

These two cards were made from scratch on the Expression. The larger card is approx 6 1/4" across and was made using the 12 x 24" mat (7 3/4"), the smaller card was made to fit the 6 x 12 mat (5 1/2"). The inside of the card is covered with dark red paper onto which I adhered a white rectangle matted onto card cold. This is to hold a sentiment. I cut a piece of patterned paper from Papermania's Joyeux Noel collection and matted it onto gold mirri. I then cut out a frame from gold mirri and adhere a matted white panel to it with foam pads. I added a velvet ribbon bow and layered poinsetta & holly leaf (large card) and a bow & layered red flower (small card). I cut out the sentiment and adhered it at an angle (large card) and straight (small card). To finish I glittered around the scallops and added gems (I'll do the same to the small card!)
