Christmas Village Lace Bracket Wrap CardCompleted by Peggy Stogdill

Printed two copies on matte photo paper, then printed Gold Metallic Beaded backing paper (cup341725_10) on the back of one of them.

I cut out the card with the printed back, and the bracket panels (trimming off the darker borders) and center image inside the lace border from the second sheet.

I scored and folded the side panels, then backed them with the second set of panels (glue stick). I used a Krylon 18K gold marker pen to color the cut edges, then added the second center image with 3d foam pads.

I embellished the gold borders on the center image with glitter glue, then added crystal glitter to some of the snow.

I've made several of the cards in this series and have been experimenting with different closures on some-for this one, I sandwiched a piece of the "ribbon" between the front panels before gluing them. then added a tiny velcro closure and glued a bow on one side.

This is a VERY beautiful design and I love how the gold swirls look SO real and metallic.
