a winter project with products from

Welcome Winter Cutting Dies

Embossing Powder

What a fun project this was!  Lots of die cutting to make this winter

vignette.  Let me show you how I made my card.

I started by taking a piece of light blue card stock.  I used one half for the

base of my card and the other half I stenciled using the Subtle Spots

Stencil with Alabaster Glitter Glaze.  While the Glitter Glaze was still

wet I added Snowflake Shaker Fill.  

I set that off to the side to dry.  I then die cut my pieces for the bird.  I really

wanted to make a Bluejay for this card.  I used a blue that was darker than the

base of my card and I die cut the underneath black layer. 

I wanted to do someheat embossing on the blue layer.  I used an

 embossing pen for this.

I didn't get it solid white and I was ok with this, knowing that by

having missed some places would give this texture.  I was using a

photo reference from Googles Images.  I next heat embossed my black

layer using the same method.

I know it looks a bit weird around the eye, but with a black Copic marker

and a black gem for the eye, it came out great!

I was ok with the final result.  I took a blue and black Copic marker and

made feathers on my Blue Jay.

I was pleased with the final result.  Even though he looks a bit rough, it

does all come together in the end!  Next I die cut the branches, snow,

spruce boughs, pine cones and sentiment.  I put Fallen Snow Glitter Glaze

 on the pine cones.  

I adhered everything onto my card that had the stenciled panel glued

to it flat.  After all was on I added more Fallen Snow Glitter Glaze to

the spruce boughs and pine cones.  I added some antique gold gems

and felt they really enhanced the pine cones.  And that finished my card!

I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial!  I really enjoyed making something

more unexpected with this die set!  You can find the products I used at
