Today I am “letting it snow” as I host the Penny Black Blog with a snowman card.
CARD INSTRUCTIONS:
- Color the image. Add crystal glitter to the snow, and accent the buttons with Glossy Accents. Set aside to dry. (Tip: To adhere crystal glitter, use a base of Star Dust Stickles as a glue medium.)
- Rub Aegean Blue and Bahama Blue inks on the edges of a 2 ¾ x 4 ¾-inch piece of blue cardstock. Using the snowflakes around the snowman, stamp with VersaMark Watermark ink and heat emboss with white powder. (Tip: A VersaMark Watermark Pen is great for inking small shapes and areas.)
- Mat to a 2 7/8 x 4 5/8-inch piece of black cardstock. (Tip: To create a snowy edge before matting, run a white ink pad around the perimeter and heat emboss with white powder.)
- Attach the layered mats with dimensional foam to a 3 1/8 x 5 ½-inch top-fold green card that has been stamped with snowflakes in Spanish Moss and Olympia Green.
- Edge the card in gold.
- Attach a knotted ribbon to the back of the snowman panel then adhere the panel to the front of the prepared card with dimensional foam.
- Accent the dot above the “i” with red glitter.
See you on Friday with “A Hug for Frosty”!
Have a great day,
