For my project today I used a new set called Jumbo Snow that should be arriving in local stores any day now! I started by stamping my background in various sizes of the snowflakes with Versamark ink (from Tsukineko)then heat embossing with Aged Marine Embossing Enamel (also new).
On a small metal edged tag (from my stash from years ago...I think they were from Making Memories) I stamped the large snowflake and heat embossed with the same ink and powder.
Next I poured some of the resin onto the tag, sprinkled on some Champagne Glass Glitter, Steel Blue Glass Glitter, and Pearlized Mica Fragments then topped that off with more resin. After this dried totally I had to cut a small amount that overflowed from around the edges using my Ranger scissors.
Lastly I matched up the snowflake over the matching one on the cardstock base and glued it on with red line adhesive since its a bit heavy for an embellie.
OK, so here's the hop order, don't forget to comment along the way!
Great idea. The overlapping look is pretty
