Good morning!
I've finally been able to use this beautiful crystal cut Chalice for decorating
a lovely shaped easel card!
This Chalice makes the perfect table centerpiece for an elegant floral arrangement at Christmas (I WISH I could have a real one that looks like this for my dining table at Christmas!!)
I've added a strand of silvery pearls, ornaments, flowers, pine cones and of course greenery to my centerpiece and placed it on my non-convensional
pink Christmas table cloth, but doesn't it make a
beautiful scene?
One of my sisters chooses a different color scheme
each year at Christmas and has tons of accessories to
go with them all. She arranges beautifully and this card reminds
me of her and some of her decorations.
It really just goes to show that not everyone likes
red and green for their Christmas colors, at least not EVERY year.
It would be just as easy to incorporate red though,
especially with certain paper collections from Heartfelt Creations.
Closed (This card lays flat, except for the dimensional flowers, for mailing)

Instructions:
Card size: 5 1/4" X 5 1/2" Start with a piece
of white card stock 11 X 5 1/4", score at 5 1/2" and 8
1/4". Cut another piece of white
card stock 5 1/2"X 5 1/4" (this will be the card front). Cut the top of the 5 1/2 X 5 1/4 with the
Decorative Medallion die outer edge, also cut the bottom of the 11 X 5 1/4 (the 5 1/2" side) with the outer edge of
the Medallion die. Cut 2 of the
Decorative Medallion inside part from white and glue to the cut edges to
match. Cut 2 large circle from dark pink
decorative paper and 2 a bit smaller from light pink decorative paper. Glue circle pairs together and then glue 1
set to the inside bottom and glue the other set to the front at the
bottom. Use Orchid Brilliance to sponge
color on all the card edges. Glue the
front (bottom half) to the 2 3/4" end of card base (be careful not
to get glue on the other part of front or card base so that card opens and
closes properly)
To decorate the easel card: stamp crystal stemmed bowl,
string of beads, and 1 set of ornaments with VersaMark them emboss with silver
embossing powder. Stamp greenery-pine boughs and holly leaves with Fern Green
and sponge with Leaf Green, cut pine cones and ornament sticks (cut ornaments
off) with Rich Cocoa and lightly sponge with the same ink. Stamp Festive Holly with black and color with
Copic Markers. Stamp Merry Christmas with Magenta Hue. Stamp poinsettias with Magenta Hue and sponge
color with Orchid Brilliance. Stamp holly clusters with Fern Green and sponge
with Leaf Green. Die cut all pieces. Start inside by put down some pearl swirl
embellishments, glue the Merry Christmas down toward the bottom and glue some
of the Holly and berries (from Festive Holly and Cardinals) on each side of the
circle die cuts. Glue some poinsettias
down to make a stop for the card front (card will still lay mostly flat when
closed). Add glitter the flowers and
leaves. The front: start by laying down
some more pearl swirls then add stemmed crystal bowl with foam tape (leave very
top tape free so that you can stick stems in).
Glue and foam tape some Holly and Berries down to each side then start filling
the crystal bowl with greenery, wood branches, ornaments, bead strands and pine
cones. Add snow to all the greenery, branches
and pine cones. Put together more
flowers with stamen and glue down into bowl.
Add glitter to flowers and greenery and also add silver Nuvo or Liquid
Pearls to strands of beads. Allow to dry thoroughly before touching.
Thanks for visiting!
