Snowflake Magic

Welcome
I'm excited to introduce you to this beautiful new stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called 
I paired it up with an older released stencil called Jewel Snowflake to make this dramatic looking card using some non- traditional colours.

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I placed a square piece of cardstock onto my Make Art Station and positioned the Jewel Snowflake over that, centering it up on the panel.  I inked over the whole thing with some Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide ink.
  • Leaving the snowflake in place, I put the Big Ornament stencil right over it and inked that up with some Villainous Potion DOX ink.  It made for a most dramatic look.
  • While that dried, I got out a piece of vellum and stamped the sentiment with some Versafine Clair black ink and clear heat embossed it carefully so the vellum wouldn't wrinkle.  
  • I wrapped the sentiment strip around the stenciled card front and attached it at the back.
  • I glued the panel onto a 4 1/4" square card base.
  • Finally, I added 3 navy gems around the sentiment.

Here are the stencils I used:
