Welcome to my blog today and the first of two cards (second is tomorrow) working with products from the NOW AVAILABLE Vault Release from MFT Stamps. My card today features the exquisitely beautiful Stylish Snowflakes Die-namics and A2 Stitched Rectangles Stax (Set 2) Die-namics.
I started by ink blending a panel using Distress Oxide Inks in Black Soot, Chipped Sapphire and Speckled Egg. Once blended I added a couple of drops of water to loosen some white acrylic paint and then splattered and splattered the background until I had a bit of a blizzard going on. I then die cut the panel with the Stax Die-namics, backed it with a panel of white craft foam and glued it to an A2 white panel then to my card base. Nice and strong!
I die cut the intricate snowflakes from white cardstock. TIP: You may find that rubbing the cutting side of the die with a dryer sheet before die cutting will aid in releasing the die cut from the back of the die without damaging it. I arranged and glued the snowflakes to my background, only lightly glueing each snowflake in the centre of each so that the edges could be teased upwards for some subtle dimension.
To complete the card I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment which is found in the 'Christmas Characters' stamp set, on a black sentiment strip and applied with dimensional foam tape and the finishing touch was to adhere icy blue jewel type embellishments into the centre of most of the snowflakes.
Looking for a card design to mass produce for your holiday cards? This one could be a winner and the backgrounds you could create would be endless fun.
