Leave a Little Sparkle

I'm back with another snowflake card!

I did emboss resist with distress oxide inks to create the background. I heat embossed the snowflakes with clear ep on white cardstock. I used spun sugar, cracked pistachio, wilted violet and faded jeans to ink blend the background. I die cut the panel and misted with sparkle sheer shimmer craft spray. I matted the panel on vintage violet cardstock and attached to a white card base.

I die cut the snowflakes from cardstock and misted with the same shimmer spray. I put small pieces of foam tape on the backside of one snowflake and attached to the top of the other to create some dimension. I stamped the sentiment on a small white panel with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink. I assembled the card as seen attaching some purple jewels for a little extra bling.

Look for Beauty

It's a brand new month and that means a new release! Today's card features the new January 2022 Stamp of the Month Sparkle & Shine from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps . I LOVE snowflake stamp sets! In my opinion, you can never own too many of them.

This card went together pretty quickly. I stamped the three snowflakes on white cardstock with honeysuckle, sprout and buttercup dye inks. I cut the panel with a stitched rectangle die, matted with certainly celery cardstock and attched to a white card base.

I die cut the snowflakes and decided to ink them up with the honeysuckle ink. I love how it pops! To get some dimension with the snowflake, I took the time to add small pieces of foam tape to the back of one and attached to the other one. I really like how this turned out! I used the same color as the mat for the sentiment strip and inked the sentiment with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink.
