'Snow Sparkling like a Million Little Suns.'

Hello Everyone,

Hope you are all staying safe and well and are coping with the lock down.   Thank you once again for your visits and lovely comments on my last blog post,  I realise the time it takes to read and comment, so they mean even more, thanks again.

Today I would like to share a card with you which I made for Imagination Crafts for their shows on the Create & Craft T.V. Channel in June 2019, using the very beautiful 'Snow Queen' Collection.   I just adore this collection, right up my street so to speak lol!    Once again, bear with me, there are lots of photos but not much reading you'll be pleased to here  lol!

  
Using the silver embossing pad, the scrolls and snowflakes from the stamp set, stamp and heat emboss them around the four edges of the 7" x 7" white base card, using the silver embossing powder.

   

  
Cut a square of purple card, smaller than the base card but do not matt this onto the base card at the moment.

Using some hammered white card,  just smaller than the purple,  blend the stormy sky and the milled lavender distress inks over the card, using a blending tool. 

Lay the clearing stencil (which is not part of this collection but is an Imagination 6"x6" stencil from some time ago...one of my favourites and is so useful, I use this a lot) onto it and using a metal spatula, spread the diamond Sparkle Medium over the design.   Remove the stencil and leave the image to dry.

  
When dry, cut this in two making the inside edges 'wavy.'

Take some heatproof acetate and stamp the snowflakes onto it, using the silver embossing pad and heat emboss with silver embossing powder.   Attach the acetate to the back of the Sparkle Mediumed card, leaving a 'gap' between the two pieces of card.   I have laid this onto a piece of black card so it can be seen better.  .

  

          
Matt this onto the piece of purple card.

  

     
Next matt this onto the white base card.

Stamp the smaller image of the snow queen onto some spare white card, using a black ink pad, six times.    Colour with the Perga Liner pencils ( from Pergamano), then cut out and 3D them onto the first image, using silicone glue.

Sixth 3D image and she is finished.










Glue the snow queen to the left- hand side of the base card.

   
Stamp 'Snow is Sparkling.......' onto a piece  of white card, using the lavender Brilliance pigment pad.

   
Trim the sentiment and matt onto a slightly larger piece of purple card.

Glue this to the bottom right corner using sticky foam pads, to add some dimension to the card 

 

                              

                             Add a little Diamond  Sparkle Medium  to the fur around her hood.                                                                                                                                                                         

       
Phew! well that's this card finished, hope you're all still with me lol!   if you are...thanks a lot for your patience, hope you have enjoyed your visit.   I do hope you will pop back again soon.   Thanks for your time.
