We have a lovely colour combination to tempt you to join in at 52CCT this week.
After a bit of thought I came up with this idea. Eight snowflakes are die cut and glued onto the card. I cut the ninth from the front of the card and embossed in gold and, after a bit of fiddling, glued it onto the inside of the card so it shows through the cut out.
Here is the inside. Showing the gold star and gold embossed 'Merry Christmas'.
I glued the snowflakes on first before cutting out the last one which meant they were all rolled through and firmed down during cutting. This is a technique which Di from Pixie's Snippets Playground recommends but I never remember to do. It beds the die cuts into the card though I should have used a shim on the inside as there are a few marks from the base cutting plate.
I'm popping into the Playground with this as I've used snippets - of course!

ReplyDeleteLovely card..I like the idea of the gold one on the inside to show through.xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Alison and the gold snowflake peeking from inside the card is genius! Glad you tried out the 'flattening' technique, at first I thought you'd used an embossing folder for the snowflakes until I read on!
