Snowflake Wishes For All!
Today’s card features the amazing Snowflake Wishes Bundle in the August-December mini catalog. I began experimenting with our watercolor paper, water painters and a few re-inkers. I choose Balmy Blue and Highland Heather and began playing around with how these colors interacted.
I have to say I love the softness of the snowy effect and decided to cut a piece for the side of my card that measures 4 x 2 1/4. I ran this through the Stamping Cut and Emboss Machine with the Winter Snow embossing folder and added a touch of sparkle with my Wink of Stella, which you probably cannot see in the photo, but trust me it is there.
I used the dies to cut some snowflakes from what was left of my watercolor experiment. I really love it when an experiment that is in my head actually turns out great! That does not always happen! LOL I stamped the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape ink, as I wanted it to be a bit darker, but did not want to go with black. I layered two small snowflakes on the corner of the sentiment with liquid glue. I am sure you could use a tiny Stampin’ Dimensional, but here I just used a titch of glue.
For the inside I cut a piece of Whisper White 4 x 5 1/4 and stamped the greeting in Gorgeous Grape. Of’ course I could not resist adding a few more snowflakes. After all what are snowflakes wishes with only a few extra flakes! I even decorated the envelope with some of the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper!
I had a great time playing with these colors. I hope you are encouraged to create something beautiful today. Thanks for stopping by and please stop back tomorrow for some more snowflake fun.
