I
refer to my card as the never ending card – only because every time I worked on
it I came up with one more thing to do.
After three days I made myself stop and take pictures. I knew I wanted a lot of layers and sparkle
and I decided to use one of my favorite color combinations, blue and
brown. I decided to distress most edges
and sponge with ink.
On
the base card I added the look of stitching by running a piercing tool around
the edge and then adding embossed stitching using a glue pen and Ice Rink EP. I added the same EP on top of the inked
snowflakes on the third layer after punching around the edges with a snowflake
corner/border punch set.
The top two layers were created using Spellbinder dies and then I decided to turn
it into a shaker window. I used more of
the Ice Rink EP on the bottom frame die and the little blue snowflakes in the
shaker window. I used Embossable Clear Acetate for the window and embossed the sentiment using Teddy Brown EP and two
snowflakes with Winter White EP.
I
love all the sparkly layered stickers you can buy for cards and scrapbook pages
and wanted to give this look to this adorable snowman. I created a total of 4 layers and added Cloud Nine Velvet Glitter and Twinkling Clouds Sparkle N Soft to add the sparkle.
Lots
of snowflakes was a must so I used punches, covered them with Cloud Nine Velvet Glitter, and sponged them with ink to add additional color.
I wanted
to try something new with my ribbon. I
used a sheer light blue and added snowflakes using VersaMark ink and Ice Rink EP. I used the heat gun just long enough
to melt the powder, trying not to melt the ribbon. It did cause the edges to curl up a bit but
that just added to the look of the ribbon.
