Another Christmas card today and this one is using the gift that is free with Die Cutting Essentials 31
This lovely snowflake will help you to create some really pretty designs.
For the one pictured I have used Peacock Feathers Distress Oxides to colour the snowflake
It is a Shaker card and I filled the centre with Turquoise Glitter from Tonic
The dazzler on the snowflake was the wrong colour so I altered it with Alcohol markers
In the video I show you how to do some partial die cutting to create a different look to the front of your cards.
I also used the die cut as a stencil to blend the background with the front and then I decided to colour the whole die cut and add it to the card
So you see when you start to play things can develop along lines that you hadn't planned on and still give you a pleasing result at the end.
Crafters have happy accidents ... they don't make mistakes !!
More tomorrow ...
