Snowflake on Brusho background

It's nice to bring back an old favourite and incorporate it into a new limited edition Snowflake stamp and die set.
I saw this idea on Pinterest and just had to try it.

Recognize the background?  Yup, it's Brusho blue crystals.  I sprinkled them on a 3 3/4 by 5" piece of water color paper and activated it by spritzing with alcohol.   I tried it on regular card stock but was unhappy with the results.

After drying the watercolor paper with a heat tool, it was matted with Blueberry Bushel card stock (the closest match to the Brusho) and then to a Thick Whisper White base.

The largest of the snowflake die was cut on Shimmer paper (note:  on the unglitter side) and added to the card front using 2 layers of dimensionals.

I wish I had ordered the snowflake trinkets, so last year's Winter Wonderland trinkets were used instead.  It was added to the center of the snowflake using a dimensional.

The stamp set "Snow is Glistening" was used to stamp the inside of the card.

Supplies Used:

Stamp:  Snow is Glistening

Ink:  Blueberry Bushel, Brusho Crystals

Papers:  Thick Whisper White, Blueberry Bushel, Watercolor Paper

Accessories:  Alcohol spritz, Dimensionals, Snowfall Thinlet dies, Winter Wonderland trinket (retired)

Snowflake in Gold

I helped a colleague at a craft show today and on the drive up it was snowing - yes, snowing.  The snowflakes were not gold in color as will be shown on the attached card.  The new, limited edition "Snowflake thinlet dies" make absolutely gorgeous snowflakes no matter the color.

Two of the largest snowflakes, die cut in gold foil, were adhered to a Merry Merlot background using the Sissiz adhesive sheets.

The Merry Merlot was matted with Gold Foil with some 5/8" reversible copper/gold ribbon adhered below the snowflake. 

Perhaps the bow should not have been so large as it is obscuring the sentiment from "Stylish Christmas" embossed in gold.

All layers are adhered to a Merry Merlot card base.

Supplies Used:

Stamps:  Stylish Christmas, Snow is Glistening

Inks:  Versa Mark

Papers;  Merry Merlot, Gold Foil

Accessories:  Snowfall Thinlet Dies, Sixxix adhesive sheets, 5/8" reverse copper gold ribbon, gold embossing powder
