Christmas Card with Zuri Designs Flower Festival mould

Welcome back and Nancy, here.  I have a fun Christmas card to share with you that was fun to make as well as a lot of "thinking outside the box" creation with using molds, embossing 3D dies, acrylic paints and of course, I always need to add a handmade bow to a shabby chic card like this one.



Supplies:

Zuri Designs Mould - Flower Festival mould with A1 Creative White Stone Resin or epoxy resin 

Frame mould and floral leaves in my collection  

Cardstock:  Stamperia Pink Christmas Paper Collection for frame, Stamperia Ceremony Paper journal card behind image, Gold Metallique cardstock and Pink Cardstock

Tim Holtz/Sizzix 3D Impresslits Large Scallop Embossing Die Set

Handmade seam binding bow

Beacon 3-n-1 Advanced Glue

Prima Marketing Acrylic Paints:  Prima Marketing Metallique Vintage Rose, Prima Marketing Sparks Magical PondRedesign Decor Wax BrassPrima Marketing Rose Gold Wax.

Instructions:

The card measures 5" x 7 1/2".  The pink frame measures 5" x 7 1/2" of pink cardstock.  The second layer is metallique gold cardstock measuring 5 1/4" x 6 1/4".  The Stamperia Pink Christmas paper on the third layer measuring 5" x 7".  I cut out the Stamperia Ceremony Paper journal card and centered it to the card with the Tim Holtz/Scallop Embossing die border that was cut out with gold metallique paper and sponged on with Prima Marketing Rose Gold wax which was glued behind the journal card.  I cut out the Stamperia Pink Christmas images and adhered it behind the resin oval frame that was previously sponged with Prima Marketing Redesign Brass wax.

I created my moulds with epoxy resin since I will be mailing it and the epoxy resin is almost like plastic and won't break in the mailing.  I let dry over night and sprayed a primer on the mould.  I painted the flowers with the gorgeous Prima Marketing Vintage Rose pink paint for the roses and Prima Marketing Magical Pond for the leaves.  The blue leaves coordinate well with the background of the image.

I used Beacon 3-n-1 Advanced glue to adhere the moulds to the cardstock.  I had some green floral leaves from cardstock and a handmade seam binding bow and adhere behind the mould. 

Actually with the two moulds made out of epoxy resin, the card is light weight but still will probably be mailed as a package due to the thickness.  Overally, a very unique and beautiful Christmas card for a very special person which is worth the extra cost of mailing.

So have fun with these moulds and would love to see what you created today.  Join the fun and post your projects and cards on The Rubber Brigade Facebook Group page.
