I even trimmed the snowflake down to make smaller snowflakes to layer for interest.

That's my card for this hope finished and I hope you love what I've created. I attached the greeting to the centre of the snowflake using Matte Collage Medium, that I applied behind the lettering so it wouldn't show through the vellum.įinally to complete my card, I added metallic droplets to the centres of the snowflakes on the background and crystals to the arms of the large snowflake in the centre. I layered each of the die cuts to form the sentiment before attaching it to a die cut vellum background. This die is in two separate pieces, the solid backing and the beautiful greeting, which I cut three times ~ twice from mixed media cardstock and a third time from gold metallic card. In the centre of the snowflake, I added a sentiment ~ Snowy Greetings. I attached the snowflake to my background, placing it in the centre using foam pads, strategically placed so they don't show through. Layer the finished snowflake over the top of a second snowflake medallion, this time cut from gold metallic card, and attach the blue snowflake at an angle to the gold one to form a complete circle. To create the snowflake, I cut three layers from Mixed Media Heavystock card, before cutting a fourth layer from Watercolour card, again inked in the same colours as the background.Īttach and layer each of the snowflake die cuts, finishing with the coloured die cut on the top to create a substantial snowflake, the thickness of mountboard.Īs with the background panel, lightly brush the dabber over the snowflake die cut and once again, sprinkle the embossing powder over the top and gently heat emboss the snowflake. I matted the finished panel onto a piece of gold metallic cardstock and using foam pads, mounted this onto the card front. Sprinkle Cosmic Shimmer Snow Storm over the panel and tap away the excess. Using an Embossing Dabber, gently brush the dabber across the raised snowflake surface of the panel ~ you don't need to add a solid block of the ink, just allow it to kiss the snowflakes where it touches. Place one die cut snowflake at the top of the inky blue card panel and adhere it into place.Īttach the second snowflake along the bottom edge of the panel, aligning it with the previous die cut and stick into place. TOP TIP: Add adhesive sheets to the back of your card panel so it's easier to adhere the fine detail snowflake. Now to create the raised snowflakes that you can see on the background and for this I used the Snowflake Medallion Die and cut two of the images from Distress Watercolour card that I inked using the same colours and the same technique as I used on the background. After drying the panel once more, I inked the edges with Frayed Burlap ink. After heat drying the panel thoroughly, I smooshed some Frayed Burlap Ink onto my craft mat, spritzed with a little water and dipped the edges of my card panel into the tiny droplets. I spritzed the card with a light misting of water and then spritzed Speckled Egg and Tumbled Glass Spray Stains over the panel. To create the background for my card, I used a panel of Distress Watercolour card, 8 x 15cm. I matted this panel onto off white card, and then mounted the layered card panels onto the front of my card blank. I then cut a panel of Pawsitively Velvet cardstock, 9.5 x 16cm and using chalk white cotton thread, I machine stitched a border around the outside. After heat drying the card panel, I inked the edges with Frayed Burlap Distress Ink and matted it onto my card front. To create the base layers for my card, I cut a panel of Tim Holtz Distress Mixed Media Heavystock card, 11 x 17.5cm and I spritzed the card with Speckled Egg and Tumbled Glass Distress Spray Stain. To begin with I created a card blank measuring, 11.5 x 18cm using Simon Says Stamp Off White Cardstock.
