Snowflake Grid

Good Morning

Meet the newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called
It really made for a fun background for this holiday inspired card.

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

  • I placed a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art station and put the Snowflake Grid stencil over it.  I inked it up with some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink.
  • I removed the stencil and to add a bit more interest to the stenciled background, I took the eraser end of a pencil and some Tumbled Glass DOX ink and added the dots into the open areas between the grids.
  • Next, I took the panel and die cut the Drifting Snowflakes right across the top part of the inked cardstock.  I die cut the shadow portion of the snowflakes with some blue cardstock and glued them together.
  • I stamped the sentiment with more of the Salty Ocean ink and then die cut it out.  
  • I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of matching blue cardstock, then onto a white A2 sized card base.
  • I used some foam tape to pop the snowflakes back into place at the top and then added the sentiment in the bottom corner.
  • The final touch was to add some silver gems to the middle of the snowflakes.

Here is the stencil I used:
