Filigree Snowflakes
>> Thursday, February 16, 2017
Welcome!!
Last week as I posted my card I asked you to cross your fingers that we would get lots of snow in the upcoming storm. This week's card is my thank you for your help in the 14 inches that we got :)
I started my card by making a mask of our Medium Filigree Snowflake stamp. Once that was done I stamped the snowflake on my card in the center using turquoise ink. After masking it I stamped the snowflake on both sides (giving it a 1/4 turn) using lavender ink, and then once again using turquoise ink.
The Warm Thoughts greeting was stamped using turquoise ink and then trimmed to size. For my fancy edges I used a corner punch - slightly differently than normal. Instead of putting the paper in to punch each corner I put it in straight as you can see here...
Just make sure it's as centered as possible. I did the same thing to the purple layer and adhered it all together on a folded purple card and then added a bit of bling to the center of the flakes and the sides of the greeting.
Thanks so much for stopping by and for all those crossed fingers!!
