Nan Christmas card

 Hello and welcome to my blog, today I would like to share with you a beautiful card I've made for my Nan. I've used all of Chloe's creative card products and take so much inspiration from her cards, I really enjoyed making this one.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

• Cute card Thursday #658
  
• Krafty chicks challenge #531
  
• Crimbo crackers #218
  
• Penny's paper-crafty challenge #483
  
• The sisterhood of crafterss
  

And here is my card, all details and products used are below:

• I have started with a white 8''x8'' scalloped base card, I created a champagne and cream mat layer, on the cream layer I have glittered around the edges and stuck these onto my base card with wet glue.
• Next I have taken another champagne mat layer and used a star fall stencil and some embellishment mousse to create a starry background and left this to one side to dry.
• Whilst my background was drying I have created my centre piece. To do this I have cut the geometric circle outline in the champagne card running it through my die cutting machine, then cut the backing circle in white with a double sided sticky sheet attached. I removed the sticky sheet and added glitter all over the circle piece, then glued the geo design over the top with wet glue.
• I die cut my sentiments from the same champagne card and used the shadow die in cream. Once my stencilled baking piece was dry I've added all the layers to the base card and attached with foam pads.
• Next thing I have done is concentrate on my flowers and foliage. I have stamped the large flower and heat embossed in gold embossing powder onto the champagne card and also onto vellum, I have cut these out using the matching dies from the set. I have then repeated this process with the smaller flowers and the foliage. With the foliage and the flowers I have added some accents of glitter and gems. I have glue these onto my card around the centre image using 3D gel. 
• The final thing I have done is decorate the inside of my card using some of the same cardstock as the mats and layers on the front and used a fancy nesting die. I then stamped a large circle sentiment in the middle and heat embossed in sparling gold embossing powder.
