Nostalgic Christmas

Hi Everyone, this week the Challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs is Non Traditional Christmas Colours and I thought it would be fun to join in with my DT card this week.

All my die cuts on my card were heat embossed with different powders from Sparkly ones to Glossy ones. My main image I sprinkled a little White Powder for a snowy effect and heat embossed around the edges to frame my image, mounting onto a little Cheesecloth.

My Snowflowers are layered in two different shades and I trimmed the top Die cut layer at the outer points of the Snowflake to give a graduation effect on my Snowflower adding a Gum Drop to the centre.

My Deer were heat embossed with a Glossy Powder and mounted onto a pink shade of cardstock at their bodies, I then trimmed around the outline of my deer. This made my Deer pop on the design and easy to cut around with having a raised surface.

I tattered the edges with my scissors adding some Distress Ink and Glitter Embossing powder to the edges.

Hope you have a nice weekend and thanks for your continued comments, I hope I am well enough to visit your Blogs shortly.

Frosty The Snowman

Hi everyone, this week for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing with you a vintage styled Christmas card using one of our latest released Snowflake dies which comes in a set of 2.

I started by cutting out my Snowflakes in white cardstock and then sprayed Adhesive on to them and added extra fine Glitter. This way you get a lovely smooth finish that doesn't show any lumps of glue. I cut them in half and added to the corners of my first layer.

My Snowman I added Snowtex on to his body and an accent on to his hat and whilst still wet I poured some extra fine glitter over them. The embellishments were coloured with Copics and a little Distress ink at the edges for definition to the Snowman's body.

My Snowflower was glittered in the same way, layering twice and adding a Gumdrop. My Pine Branches were coloured with Copics and Glitter added for an extra frosty look.
