Happy New Year everyone! I am absolutely trilled to be taking part in this year's Seasons Givings Blog Hop!
This is a blog hop with a difference - each participating blog will not only have some crafty inspiration waiting for you - each blog will also have a sweet crafty surprise to give away!
What a fantastic way to start the year - you might just be the lucky winner of some fantastic crafty goodies!
As my inspiration today I'd like to share my last winter themed card for this season. Like the Angel on the card, I'm blowing the snowflakes away - except I am wishing for the winter to end and for the spring to arrive before too long :). I hope you'll like this card and that it will encourage you to look around my blog to check out my other projects as well :). You might like to have a peek at my
Top Ten Picks from 2015 - a collection of my favourite projects from the last 12 months :).
Supplies:
Plus: Cardstock by Bazzill Basics Paper®; Tim Holtz Marker Spritzer Tool, ribbon - May Arts, Sakura Clear Star pen
Chameleon Alcohol Pens: BL3, BL6, BG4, CG8, NU1, BK4
Instructions:
1. Prepare an A6 card blank from purple cardstock.
2. Trim a panel from White Media Paper 1/16th inch smaller on each side.
3. Sprinkle the powders, glitters and mica fragments from the Teal Kit over the panel and heat from underneath using encrusted jewel technique.
4. Embellish the panel with silver photo corners and purple ribbon. Adhere to the card base using Extreme tape.
5. Stamp the Crystal Angel in black onto Media Paper and colour in. Stamp the Angel again onto scrap paper and cut it out.
6. Use the cut-out Angel as a mask to cover the Angel on your main stamped image. Using the spritzer tool air brush the background snowflake with pink, purple and blue markers.
7. Fussy cut the image and adhere it to the card over the foam tape.
8. Decorate a foam snowflake with pigment powders and Royal Purple Glass Glitter and adhere it to the centre of the image.
