This was going to be CAS with an all white background. I found this dotty paper and all was lost!
I started as I'd planned by sponging green ink onto some scraps, stamping the snowflakes and die cutting the circles. Of course, I could have started with green card.
The I embossed the circles twice with clear powder and added a tiny bit of glitter before heating a second time.
Then I fiddled about die cutting the strip to go behind not realising that most of it would be hidden.
What I've finished up with here is a modern looking card so I popped the sentiment on sideways to continue the theme.
I learnt this trick on You Tube this week. I'm sure you all do this anyway but it was a revelation for me. Tape a bit of scrap paper onto your shape while you heat emboss to use as a handle. No burnt fingers or finger prints in the embossing!
I'm running in to Pixie's Snippets Playground. I've used snippets for the circles and sentiment and also a piece of patterned paper which I have a stack of and don't use much. Now I have two more snippets of the dotty paper!
Also checking in with Scrappy Mo's Rudolf Days challenge just at the last minute. Anything goes as long as it's Christmas.
Lovely modern Rudolph day card Alison. Sorry to hear your dotty paper snippets multiplied while you weren't looking!

A beautiful card Alison, the snowflokes look lovely with the embossing powder added. Thanks you for joining in with the Rudolph Days Challenge this month.

Hi Alison, thanks for popping by! I’m a bit slow, under the weather. I love the dotted background and the colours of the snowflake circles because they really pop and carry on the circle theme. Good tip about paper strips for heat embossing; i use bbq skewers. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat card and super use of snippets Alison. The spotty paper just had to be included, it's so pretty. And a great tip for embossing as well.

I really like your modern card. It has a lovely look with the clear embossing powders highlighting the stamped areas.
