Snowflake Christmas

 

Welcome

Wow, I can't believe how quickly the holiday season is approaching.

Time to kick it into full gear and get to finishing up some more holiday cards.

I picked up a new set of dies- Nesting Hexagon Infinity dies from Hero Arts and wanted to give them a try.

So here's what I did to create my card.

• Once again, I began by looking through my stash of previously inked pieces and found this blue one that I had done in a Gel Plate Class I took in the summer.  I used bubble wrap to lift the paint off the plate and leave the impression you can see in the background.  So using one of the hexagon dies, I die cut the panel into pieces cutting them close together as I knew I wanted to reassemble them onto my card front. helpful hint:  by adding a small mark to one corner and numbering the panels helps so much when reassembling them onto the card front
• I glued the pieces onto a piece of white card stock, matching the pattern up and trimmed away the excess along the edges.
• I placed the glued up panel into my Misti and stamped the snowflakes randomly with some Versamark ink and then white heat embossed them.
• I splattered with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
• I die cut the Merry Christmas sentiment from SSS onto another piece of white cardstock, then glued it over the dry panel.
• I glued it all onto a white cardstock base then added the little white pearls to the snowflake centers.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
