Snowy Season's Greetings
Here's my card for the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. I stretched the square layout to a standard A2 sized card for my holiday themed design.
I used three of the snowflake images from Avery Elle's Snowflakes to create my own patterned paper panel. The shimmery silver flakes are so pretty IRL! For dimension, I dotted the center of each flake with a bit of Silver Liquid Pearls. I used one of the coordinating dies to cut the word "season's" from pale blue cardstock. After adhering the word to the stamped panel, I stamped the word "greetings" beneath it. A strip of silver cardstock was placed beneath the panel. I trimmed the extended ends of the "season's" die cut to be even with the end of the silver strips, then used foam tape to adhere the stamped panel to a piece of textured blue cardstock that was a remnant from a past holiday card. The finished panel was adhered to a pale blue card base to match the "season's" sentiment.
Materials Used:
Snowflakes stamp set, Snowflakes dies (Avery Elle); Delicata Silvery Shimmer and Memento Bahama Blue inks (Tsukineko/IMAGINE Crafts); Spring Rain cardstock (Papertrey Ink); Recollections Silver cardstock (Michaels); cardstock (Bazzill); Silver Liquid Pearls (Ranger); corner rounder; foam tape
