I then lightly brushed the background with wet paint brush – Distress inks react with water! Once the background dried, I trimmed it down as an A2 sized panel using an A2 sized rectangle panel die in the Basic Rectangles die set.įor edge-to-edge shaker card, I cut a piece of clear plastic bag bigger than A2 size, applied super sticky double-side tape to all the edges of back of the background panel, covered the panel with clear plastic piece, and then filled it with sequins and glitter. I simply stamped the snowflake background onto watercolour paper with Cracked Pistachio, Broken China and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide inks. It is so amazing!!įor my first edge-to-edge shaker card, I used the All Snowflakes Background stamp. I was totally inspired by Nina-Marie’s edge to edge shaker card!

I let them sit and dry and then tied a small bit of red and white bakers twine at the top for a tie. I found that keeping one of the snowflakes in place in the paper worked as a guide and helped me to line the other snowflakes up. To create the snowflake ornament, simply apply several of the snowflakes together, spritz them with resist spray and sprinkle them with glitter. Then all the elements were brought together and adhered using collage medium, foam tape then applied to a card base. I dabbed collage medium onto the funky pieces and sprinkled them with glitter to give them a festive and frosty look. Greens and berries were cut from scraps of inked and plain watercolor papers and the Funky Festive thinlet set. I stamped the phrase “Dashing Through the Snow” (Scenic Holiday CMS391) onto a scrap of paper and embossed the phrase with Fired Brick Embossing Glaze. The edge of the piece was then stitched and matted onto another piece of watercolor paper. The ink on the stamp was then spritzed with water, then stamped onto the paper. Festive Berries distress ink was applied to the music background stamp. I cut a small piece of watercolor paper into a small rectangle. The snowflake was then sprayed with Distress Resist Spray then spritzed with Clear Rock Candy Glitter that was in a Glitter Duster. Then adhered a few together with Distress Collage Medium. I cut out several of the different sizes of snowflake out of watercolor paper. I loved how they came out, so bright and festive! Some of the spritzed and dripped areas were sprinkled with Fired Brick Embossing Glaze and embossed with my embossing gun. This one was a mix of both the Aged Mahogany plus a spritz and drips of Festive Berries spray stain. Some of my backgrounds were lighter, if I added more water to the inks, and some were brighter, if I added more of the stain. I played around with this technique and created a few backgrounds. Then I spritzed the paper with water and Aged Mahogany Spray Stain, then dried the areas with my heat tool. Using Distress Embossing Ink, I randomly stamped some of the snowflakes and bits of the music onto a sheet of watercolor paper, then sprinkled them with white embossing powder and heat embossed the images. The red and white greens were cut out using the Funky Festive Thinlet set. I created the background of the card using spray stains, water and white embossing powder and the Grunge Flakes CMS098 and Music and Adverts CMS358 Stamp Sets. The smaller one was used of the front of my card and I layered a few of both sizes together to create an ornament that can be tucked within the card and mailed or tied onto a gift. I layered a few of each of the sizes together to create a 3d effect. It’s crazy how they can make something that cuts out so much detail. It is a thinlet set that comes with 2 sizes of snowflakes that are both very detailed and delicate. This card was created using the new thinlet set, Stunning Snowflake. Can you believe that it’s August already? I had planned on sharing one of my Christmas cards that I created for the Tim Holtz Sizzix Holiday release in July but time slipped away and I am now celebrating Christmas in July in August… □ oh, well, better late than never!
