Snowflakes.

The last card of the eight. The one that was the most trouble but the one I liked making the most.
I inked the snowflake die over a sheet of plain white copy paper in a random pattern using distress ink in 'Stormy Sky' & 'Chipped Sapphire' and whilst still wet sprinkled with a very fine dusting of blue glitter.Once dry I cut to size and matted to the card front. Happy Christmas was stamped onto an oval die tag edged with distress ink and dipped in the same blue glitter.
The snowflakes were die cut from thin card and then coated in crackle paint. Two were painted with white and two painted in blue acrylic paint and whilst wet sprinkled with a fine dusting of the blue glitter. I then coated each one in a liberal coating of Glossy Accents and left to dry overnight and that's when the fun began.
You know when you see a sign on a newly painted park bench/railings saying WET PAINT don't you just have to test it to see? Well the blue ones were fine , dry as a bone and the white ones looked ok so just to test and be doubly sure I turned them over onto a sheet of news print and the rest is history (yesterdays news item to be precise.) Ok, so scrap those and start again.
Two white snowflakes later and for some reason the Glossy Accents dried with a distinct yellow tinge so scrap those and start again.
Third time lucky and it worked. Adhered them to the front of card with sticky pads and typed a verse in word to go inside.
