Greetings everyone. For today's card, I wanted to show you one of the new dies that creates a wonderful frame for winter or holiday cards. It is called the Dancing Snowflake Square, and it cuts out intricate snowflakes as well as embosses elegant snowflake details.
Here is a close up to see the embossed elements:
To make the card, I took 140lb watercolor paper and added some Color Burst powders and water to create a blue/purple watercolor background.
Next, I cut out the snowflake frame. Before I removed the white paper from the snowflake frame die, I ran it through my die cut machine a second time with a tan embossing mat to really emboss all the little snowflake details.
I removed the cut out from the die and adhered it on top of my watercolored background.
For the central snowflake, I cut it out using one of of the snowflakes from the Loop Snowflake Trio and added some glitter and a rhinestone for extra sparkle. I popped it up using some fun foam cut using the same snowflake die. Here is a close up of the snowflake and the foam used to pop it up off of the card:
