Elizabeth Craft Designs' Snowflake Card

Welcome Back,

Today I am playing around with the new "Snowflake" dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs' winter collection. I just love how this turned out.




To create this easy project follow these step by step directions:
  1. Cut your darker card stock to 5" x 10" and fold in half creating the card base.
  2. Cut your white background piece to 4 3/4" square
  3. Use light and dark blue inks along with a Tim Holtz sponge, and color over the stencil in various directions to achieve a snowflake background to your linking.

4.  Next die cut snowflake dies in desired colors. Cutting 2 of the largest snowflake, glue these two together to create a thicker snowflake. This helps when inking and it gives a sturdy base for the entire design.


5. Using the sponge again sponge the tips of the largest snowflake in light blue ink.


6. Using foam tape, cut in thin pieces and attach to the back of the largest snowflake.  Adhere the snowflake to the card front. This give the snowflake even more dimension.
7. Using Kids Choice glue adhere the snowflake piece together and add a large pearl to the center.
Here is the final result. I hope this inspires you to get those dies out and play. They make the most exquisite projects.
