I used the Fabulous Finds Cricut cartridge to cut out 6 squares, the background and all the matting. I had to choose a lot of papers that went well together.
First, I pick out the papers for the squares (and work around those colors). Then, I choose a background paper to put them on and also a paper for the matting. Then I choose the matting for the squares. In most cases all my matting is the same paper/color.
I added walnut distress ink to the edges of the squares to make them darker before adding the matting to them.
There are 3 layers to the “Noel” die cut.
First Layer: ThereÂ’s, what I call, the background which is the Dark Maroon.
Second Layer: The light green paper. The dark maroon paper shows through the letters.
Third Layer: The dark green, which is a border.
To end, I added the ribbon and the Poinsettia
