Christmas Holly Watercolour - Snow Leopard 8x8Completed by Louisa Price

You know when you have one of those days where you cant seem to cut in a straight line?.... Yep my trimmer skewed and so I had to replace the printed Gold edge of the design with some Gold mirri instead.

Printed on Matte photo paper, this is a one sheet kit, however as I had already had to "play" with it, by re-doing the Gold Mat, I took a Navy 8x8 inch card blank, and scored the front at 4 inches, before folding it, and using a navy Card piece 8x8 inch, to create an easel card, sticking only the bottom of the card stock to the fold, this creates and Easel card.

Next it was simple to create the stopper, by taking the small image and mounting it on a piece of gold mirri, then a gold mirri mat for the base, with some white insert paper on top.

I added the sentiment, Merry Christmas having matted and layered onto gold mirri and Navy card stock, and then used foam pads for dimension.

Due to the nature of this card it was easy to position the sentiment where the Leopard was looking., Some red enamel dots on the back ground holly Berries, and some glaze on the larger ones, and on the Leopards dapples, and the card is done
