Tis the Season.. *Let it Snow..*

Good Morning everyone,

 I see from the weather forecast that some of you may have woken up to 

Snow today, we have been blessed with a Frosty dusting but boy is it cold....

Its time for another challenge over on the That's Crafty Challenge Blog 

This fortnights theme is *Tis the Season* and i'm sure you all have some 

Christmas/Seasonal makes you may care to share with us all?? 

This is my take on the *Tis the Season*..

Using a 4.5 x 9" Greyboard panel I mounted the waste from my 

Greyboard snowflakes onto it.. it was far too pretty to throw away.

Three large snowflakes were dabbed

 in Pearl Multi Surface Paint and heated to create texture.

The mounted panel was dry brushed with a combination of 

Dark Blue, Ice Blue and Pearl paint

and holes punched at one end to enable the panel to be hung.

That's Crafty Texture Paste was pushed into the edges of the snowflakes 

and when dry 3D Gloss Gel pushed into other areas of the snowflakes. 

A light dusting of glitter has been sprinkled on top whilst still wet.

*Note to self* 

Do not try and force dry as the Gel will become opaque and not dry clear.

Just like mine did (sadly..!)

Using double sided paper tape holds the wording secure whilst painting in 

Textured Sand paste. When dry I dabbed on Pearl Multi Surface paint.

Layering up the Large Snowflakes I glued them onto the panel with a

complimentary flat back pearl added to the centre.

Edged in white embossing powder the lettering 

is glued onto the bottom half of the panel.

Finally wire is added to act as a hanger

completing my *Let it Snow panel*.

I do hope you can join in with the *Tis the Season* Challenge over HERE

Snowflake Christmas Card

Snowflakes I just love them for their individual beauty and this card is full of them, 

Created using Sweet Dixie Small Snowflake Stamps and Sweet Dixie Large Snowflake Stamps from Personal Impressions both stamp sets are Designed by Sue Dix from her 2016 Christmas Collection.

This card is a simple mat & layer creation. Using Sue Dix small snowflake stamps embossed onto Silver Grey Shimmer Card with basic white embossing powder and Clear Ultra Fine embossing powder the clear gives a watermark design and is so effective.

Snowflakes have been stamped and embossed with Silver Super Sparkle onto 

Snow White Centura Pearl card. 

All mats have been layered onto Silver Mirror card.

The centre snowflake has been stamped and embossed using Sue's large Sweet Dixie Snowflake stamp and heat embossed using basic white embossing powder, this really brings out the intricate detail of this beautiful stamp.

Adding silver gauze and chiffon ribbon to break up the squareness of the 7"x7"card and AB gemstones to enhance the snowflakes detail the card is complete.

There are plenty of sentiments and lovely verses to use in these stamp sets, 

I'm saving mine for the inside.

Thank you for taking a sneaky peek.. Have a creative weekend.
