Sketched Snowflakes

Now don't shoot the messenger as I know that a lot of my regular blog readers do not like the "C" word until 1st December but in the crafting world Christmas in July is very important to get the new Christmas releases out. The new release is called "Sketched Christmas" and very different to Mark's usual grungy, drippy designs. These are hand sketched by him and they are totally delightful. There are 6 new stamp sets available. The set I am using for this blog is the beautiful Sketched Snowflakes.

Tutorial

This is a very quick card to make and you can use any colourway. I chose to use blue using distress stain and mica sprays. These are always a good option for a quick frosty background.

It is very important to allow your background to dry before adding any embossing powder, I leave mine overnight at least. I stamped the sentiment in the bottom right quadrant of my background and white heat embossed it.

I then stamped and white heat embossed the rest of my design.

I added some touches of glitter pen.

I also added a sequin in the centre of the larger snowflakes plus a few more dotted around for some extra detail and texture. As a finishing touch I matted it on to white glitter paper and then onto a deep blue card blank I made from an A4 sheet of card.

So here is my finished card again.

Do check out this gorgeous new release. You can really quickly batch make with them too. I will be using these for all my Christmas cards this year!
