One quick card, and then I really need to stop procrastinating on my Christmas cards. Really.
The snowflakes are stamped in a tree shape, filling in with the smaller snowflake where needed. Then embossed with white. I only had 3 shades of blue markers that fit with the blue in the inspiration photo, so on some of the snowflakes I added ink to selective areas and smudged them inward with my finger to get a varied effect. I colored the centers orange to tie in with the sentiment, and act like "ornaments" on the snowflake tree.
Washi tape is over a row of 3 snowflakes below the sentiment. I like how they partially show through.

Very cool! I just finished a second card, but I've missed the deadline.
ReplyDeleteAnd again! You take something ordinary, like embossing and markers, and put them together in a fun, new way to create something amazing!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI still don't understand how emblossing in white will keep the blue effect, but as the engineer and now scientist it seems, only you know your awesome power!
ReplyDeleteI'm so with you on your very first sentence. If I could just stop playing around! This is too cool. Great design and execution.

ReplyDeleteLove the snowflakes. Thanks for the comments on my blog. I do have a question though. Which class did you take to learn to use the Cameo. I did not have a Cricut so am not familiar with cutting machines.
ReplyDeleteLove the snowflake tree, it looks wonderful on the dark background. You are still on a very creative roll!
ReplyDeleteI nearly missed this beauty! Love the non traditional Christmas colors and the tree shape is fantastic!
