Glittering Snowflakes...

Happy Sunday,

Last day of the NEC today I just want to say a big thank you to everyone who came along and said hello I love meeting so many members of my blog family both all and new!



Todays card is using my elegant snowflakes mask and the Izink texture paste the amazing thing is this paste is so flexible that it will adhere glitter as well!


I used the silver Izink texture paste through one of the snowflakes in the elegant snowflakes mask then I added iridescent white glitter over the top.  Once dry the glitter is stuck to the paste in the design and is a flexible as the paste on its own.  I haven't had time to try yet but hopefully this will work on fabric as well hopefully washable?!?

I framed these with the press cut hexagons using silver mirror and white card using 2 of the dies from the set.  The brilliant thing about these is that the dies are thin allowing nice thin borders between pieces cut meaning you don't need 2 sets to make perfect mats and layers.


I embossed the top white layer using the crafts too falling snow embossing folder and added a large messy bow in the centre.  I made up the bow to be a focal point in the centre using satin edged organza ribbon ( I should have this on my next Hochanda show) with a Craft Consortium star buckle in the centre.


Enjoy...

    Hello John, this card is just beautiful, I love the focal element of the ribbon with the little buckle, but I think the snowflakes just make the card. Have a good day everyone. Bx

    Hello John,
    So pleased the NEC has gone well! You must be shattered though! Safe journey home!
    Today’s card is another beauty. I’m not getting much done in the crafting line at the moment as it’s a busy “ family time!” However, all being well, give me one more week!! Ha ha!
    Inspiration not wasted as noted and Pinned!
    Thanks John,
    Love Myra xx
