Hello everyone! Winter is settling in and we are nearing the longest day
of winter. YAY! It only gets lighter from there! 👍. Today I'll be sharing
a winter project with products from
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
