The challenge this week at Cheery Lynn Designs is Silver and/or Gold. You can use one or both. I have used silver mirror card and gold beads. I began with a red card base 5 inches square. To that I added a white panel 4 13/16 inches square. (Yes, I used 1/16 inch increments; 1/4 is too large, 1/8 is too small and 3/16 is just right for a border) Next I cut my gorgeous Snowflake Wonder Doily from white card stock. I used only the outer die of this 2 piece set. Next I used the newly released Doily Companion Square die set to cut a red backer for my doily as well as a perfectly sized red square for the center of my doily.
Using silver mirror card, I die cut the new 3-D Poinsettia and mounted it into the center of my doily. Just look at all that beautiful detail. I bent the inner petals up for the 3D effect. Then I added some gold embellishments to the center of my poinsettia. Using my silver mirror card, which is adhesive backed, I die cut some strips using the medium ones on my Expandable Quilling Strip Die. I miter cut the corners for a clean look.

Beautiful sandy! My sister would love it!
So gorgeous. I love it.
wow...stunning, beautifully done card...
I really like this one, so beautiful. Is the poinsettia one die that you had to cut, or several dies? Can't tell by the one posted for sale. I never think about using the mirror paper. Thanks for reminding me. Edna
