Denim Snowflake

Welcome

Meet another one of the newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Snowflake Duo

There are 2 snowflakes on one stencil and they are perfect for creating those holiday/winter cards.

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

• I started by looking through my stash of inky backgrounds and found this one that I had used as a roll off sheet while Gel Plate printing.  (I think? I used some Salty Ocean, Uncharted Mariner and some Blueprint Sketch on my plate and I always keep some cardstock nearby to roll my brayer off.)
• I die cut the panel with the Wonky Stitches die and rubbed some ink along the edges as well.  It really reminded me of denim.
• I placed one of the snowflakes from the Snowflake Duo stencil over my cardstock and inked it up with some Uncharted Mariner DOX ink.
• I lifted the stencil, wiped it off and repositioned it slightly over from the first inking. Using my white Posca pen, I went over the stencil adding the white dots, creating a shadow effect.
• While that dried, I die cut the sentiment 5 times with white cardstock and glued them together stacking them together.
• I glued the stenciled panel onto a white A2 sized card base.
• Lastly, I glued the sentiment over the middle of the snowflake and added 3 silver gems around it.

Here is the stencil I used:

So glad you stopped by to see what I've been up to.

Here is another holiday card I made with a fun background....easy to do too.

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

• The background on this card was very simple to create and took only minutes.  It was inspired by a challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers.  Using a piece of vellum, I coloured the whole piece with different colours of Copic markers.  *You must use an alcohol based marker for this to work*
• After I was happy with the colouring, I added Rubbing Alcohol with an old paintbrush to make the colours blend.  I set that aside to dry.
• Using the Wonky Stitched die, I cut a frame and then the sentiment from some white cardstock.
• I glued the dry piece of vellum onto a piece of white cardstock, then glued that behind the die cut frame.
• I glued the sentiment over the frame along the bottom leaving room for the snowflake to fit.
• I die cut a snowflake and glued that into the top corner.
• I added foam tape to the whole back of the framed piece and glued that onto a heavy white card base.  

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
