Well its double today Christmas Friday and the arrival in shops of the snow fibre paper. Therefore today I am showing a card that uses the paper that proved so popular in this post HERE when I originally showed it.
For today's card I have hand cut the centre section into snow drifts as well as die cutting the paper. I thought this card would show the beauty and versatility of this new paper.
I stared by die cutting the mini Christmas scene in black card using dies 1, 2 and three. I then added pearl moon gilding wax over the embossed area that highlights the village scene. Next I cut die 3 (the outline die from the centre of the scene) form the centre of a piece of the snow fibre paper and mounted the scene above this. I then added a frame cut in black and trained the paper down so that a border was visible.
I have added a close up of this so you can see the detail and layering...
I added the whole piece to an A5 black card blank and finished. In a smaller size a perfect batch card I think!
The snow paper is available in Julia Watts online craft shop, click HERE to check it out!

ReplyDeleteHi John, This card is gorgeous !! I love scene cards, so this is 'right up my street'.
ReplyDeleteLots of love from Patricia xx
Eh up John
ReplyDeleteLooks a bit felty to me and you know about my felt aversion lol! Snow felt may have been a better name as I always think of bran when someone mentions fibre hahaha
Joking aside, it is a super card and scene and I think you may just be right about those trees.
