Christmas Design 2 ...

This card is my second in my quest for a card I like that is easy to replicate ... this one fits the easy to replicate criteria but I remain unsure!



I began by stamping two pieces of card with background stamps and distress ink - I wanted to create some delicately coloured card to die cut the snowflakes from.  I die cut loads of snowflakes - some I stuck and stacked together to add dimension. Adhered the snowflakes direct to the card base and popped the sentiment up on foam adhesive to add dimension.  I could make quite a few of these as I do have a lot of snowflakes!!

I used:
STAMplorations - Mixed Media Elements, Mixed Media Grunge and a sentiment from Christmas Bell Medley
Distress Inks: Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers, Shaded Lilac and Wilted Violet.
X Cut Mini Snowflakes

I'm entering the "Less is More" Challenge - a colour challenge this week with "Turquoise and Lilac".

Enjoy!

  7. What a great way to subtly colour your die cut snowflakes. This is a great one for multiples, I think you're on to something here :)
