A glittered Swift Reindeer prances through the Dancing Snowflake Square on a quick winter card today…let's get started! Hi, Jean Okimoto here, on a very cold rainy day requiring a trio of pretty colors…and glitter.
Cut Dancing Snowflake Square from watercolor paper and leave it in the die.
Daub the open areas with Imagine Crafts Brilliance Pearlescent Jade, Lime and Lavender to highlight the snowflakes. They're bright, shimmery and perfect for stenciling. Let the inks dry while you clean the die with a damp washcloth.
Love how the snowflakes near the center aren't inked and won't visually compete with the deer – and how the outer areas receive the pearlescent inks and create a nice frame for your design. Having features like this designed into the die make life so much easier!
Cut Swift Reindeer from silver glitter cardstock.
Attach adhesive label paper or a sticker sheet to aqua felt and cut two of the scarf portion again. The paper backing stabilizes the felt, keeps nice crisp edges and prevents glues from soaking thru the diecut.
Attach Scor-Tape behind pale green glitter cardstock and diecut Honeycomb Background. That creates an instant collection and eternal supply of sparkly self-adhesive green hexagons to accent your designs!
Adhere everything to an A6 (4-⅝" x 6-¼") card of watercolor paper – use foam dots for the deer and scarf.
Thanks for visiting…see you again this evening for my last (promise!) post of the month. October's been a busy month between traveling and Sage's visits to the vet - so I'm playing catch-up today.
