Golden Snowflakes

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Last month's Group of Seven Cardmakers used stenciling over heat embossing.

I love this technique but my first try was a bust.

The embossing powder didn't stick well to the ink.

I went ahead and stenciled a tree over and if you look close you can see the bits

of white embossing. They do not look anywhere near what the snowflake stamp looks.

(I used a handmade stencil using vellum and a die.)

So I stamped again with gold ink and used gold embossing powder then fussy cut

the tree out. 

I had a gold die cut snowflake in the box and popped that and a sentiment strip on top.

I think it makes a passable Christmas card and used up a discard piece.

Challenges:

ABC Christmas - U is for use it up

Peace on Earth - ATG Christmas
