GINA K DESIGNS – SHIMMERING SNOWFLAKES

The oversized snowflakes featured in this set are simply perfect to take center stage on a card. I heat embossed the largest image on light blue cardstock and used Distress Oxide inks to darken the color around the edges. I went for a recessed design by adding a negative die-cut panel on top.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS:

• Heat emboss the largest snowflake in Detail White embossing powder on Sea Glass panel cut to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2″.
• Ink blend distress oxide inks around the edges keeping the center of the snowflake free from ink and gradually darkening the color towards the edges. Ink blend in Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers, Broken China, Chipped Sapphire.
• Generously splatter background with a shimmer mist. Let dry.
• Stamp the sentiment in VersaFine Onyx Black ink.
• Embellish snowflake with Teal and Silver gems from Spellbinders.
• Using the coordinating die die-cut a snowflake opening in a white 4 1/4 x 5 1/2″ cardstock panel. Align the negative die cut panel over the ink blended snowflake and foam mount.
• Adhere onto A2 white top folding card base.
