I love making Christmas cards and today I had an idea to use snowflakes in a new way. My sister made me allot of snowflakes using the Decorative strip from the SU Holiday Mini and sent them to me. I am a new SU Demo and got my first order just before Thanksgiving and also moved into a new house. So guys I am alittle behind. I hope you enjoy what I came up with. It is easy, simple and elegant all at the same time. Remember I love Vintage cards.
I am so sorry the picture is blurred, sometimes I shake too much.
Supplies:
Card stock: Soft Seude, Marnia Mist
Ribbon: Whisper White Satin
Ink Pads: Whisper White Craft, Soft Suede and Versa Mark
Misc: Heat & Stick, Su Rhinestones
I cut my base card out of soft Suede, next layer is Marina Mist, and 3rd layer is Soft Suede again. I stamped snowflakes using SU Northern Hearts stamp set from the Holiday Mini, with Whisper White Craft Ink. Then took the white snowflakes and sponged them with Soft Seude, let dry a minute and then stamp them with Versa Mark, sprinkled them with heat stick, used my heat gun to make them sticky and then sprinkled the snowflakes in Dazzling Diamonds. Added a Whisper White Satin Ribbon and attached the snowflakes after drying.

ReplyDeleteI echo everyone's comments on the snowflake treatment. Fabulous! I love the unexpected color scheme, too. The white bow is the perfect touch to this gorgeous card.
So glad you joined the Paper Players this week.

ReplyDeleteSo pretty Jackie! Those sparkly, embossed snowflakes are stunning and I adore that big, beautiful bow. I also have to agree with everyone else about the color combo, very subtle yet so elegant. Thanks so much for playing along with The Paper Players this week! :)
