A few snowflakes might be welcome on this warm summer day – the NEW Snowflake Spectacle and Elegant Snowflake Flourish would be perfect! Hello, Jean Okimoto here, with another challenge inspiration design featuring our Holiday 2016 Collection of wonderful new dies, stamps and stencils.
Cut Snowflake Spectacle and Elegant Snowflake Flourish from textured white cardstock. Trim Snowflake Spectacle with the 4" Stitched Square Layer.
Cut another square with the 3-½" Stitched Square Layer. Trim it into a rectangle using the inner edge of the 4" square. It's an easy way to create custom-sized blocks of cardstock for layering, mats, greetings and backgrounds.
Stamp "let it snow" – from the Making Spirits Bright Clear Stamp Set – on lime green cardstock with Love Letter Memento Luxe. Heat-set the rich, opaque pigment ink. Cut it into a circle with the Stitched Circle Layer. Cut a larger circle of red cardstock.
Attach everything to an A-6 (4-⅝" x 6-¼") lime green card. Add green sequins.
