Flurries

Hello and Welcome

As most of us don't want to think about snow flurries (me included!!) I really want to get some of my holiday cards done and set aside before the rush is on.

So, how about some mid-month inspiration and a sale with this new released stencil called 

Classic Snowflake from A Colorful Life Designs.

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

• I thought I would try this cute Classic Snowflake stencil out on my Gel Plate, so I got that out and set it up.
• I pressed some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink onto the plate by pressing the pad right onto it.  I used a brayer to roll it all smooth.
• I placed the stencil onto my Gel Plate, then using a piece of white cardstock I rubbed over the plate to print the darkest blue snowflakes you see in my card first.
• I carefully lifted the stencil off and rubbed the cardstock over the plate again, giving me the lighter white snowflakes in the background.  
• I splattered with my white Posca pen and used the pen to also add a white dot to the center of all the darker snowflakes.
• When it was all dry, I used a Braided Oval die to cut the oval from the center.  I placed that piece into my Misti to stamp the sentiment and clear heat embossed it.
• I glued the stenciled piece onto an A2 sized card base, used some foam tape to pop up the oval back into place and then finally added 5 silver gems under the sentiment.

Here is the stencil I used:
