Christmas Snowflakes

Welcome

Today's card features a technique I did earlier that I called Stripped Down.

I thought this new Dotted Flakes stencil from A Colorful Life Designs, worked so well for the theme of the card I was making.

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

• I began with a piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some Broken China, Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink.
• Next, I die cut the inked panel into strips and carefully set them aside.
• I cut another piece of white cardstock and glued the strips onto that, flipping every other one in the other direction.  It really adds a lot of interest.
• I set that aside to dry and I die cut the round Christmas Token sentiment with some white cardstock.
• When the glue was dry on the strips, I placed the Dotted Flakes stencil over the panel and inked it up with some Unicorn white ink.
• Next, I splattered with my white Posca pen.
• I popped the strips panel onto an A2 card base using some foam tape.
• I glued the sentiment circle over the finished card front and added a blue dot to the center.

This is a simple card I made for my son.  He loved it!

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

• I began with a piece of white cardstock and cut out the Christmas Token die and set it aside.  
• I glued the plaid paper behind the cut away circle.  I've had that paper for years so happy to be able to use it.
• Next, I stamped out the Santa and fussy cut it out.  I really don't like to colour, so I decided I would paper piece him together.  I stamped the Santa again onto some patterned paper, fussy cut it out and glued it onto the Santa.  I did have to colour his face, boots and hands with Copic markers.
• I glued the die cut panel onto a piece of red cardstock, then glued the Token back into place over that.  
• I pop dotted Santa over the token and added a shiny white pom pom onto his hat.  
• I glued it all onto a heavy white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
