25 cards of Christmas - Day 6 - Partridge in a pear tree


This card was definitely more time consuming to make, mainly because of the die I decided to use. It's called 'partridge in a pear tree' and it's lovely, but it took a while to pop out all the tiny bits of card once it had gone through the die cutter!

Once that was done though, it was quite a simple card to make. Cover the whole of the front of the card base with patterned paper. This paper came in a pack of Christmas paper, but it would do just as well for Valentine's day or an anniversary or a wedding or any other occasion.

Stick the die cut to a piece of red card and fix to the base. I die cut an oval from gold card to make a window. The embossed edge is actually accidental - the card was thicker than I thought it was - but I liked the effect. Stick the gold frame to the card with dimensional stickers and add a little bow at the bottom.
