Most of my wrapping paper was already stashed but luckily I receive a gift late and took the paper off for this. I adhered it to some heavy paper and purposefully wrinkled it up for texture. Then I added white paint around the edges but thought that it needed more "snowy" feeling so added some chunky embossing powder around the edges. I stacked several snowflake die cuts to make a "chipboard" snowflake which I covered with glitter but the glue made it look yellowish so I also coloured that with white paint and got a great texture.
Ingredients:
Die: SSS Funky Snowflake
Paint: Adirondack Acrylic Dabber- Snow Cap
Embossing Powder: Chunky White Embossing Enamel - Stampendous
Glitter: Ranger Distress Stickles- Clear Rock Candy
Great card, Sandra! I have some snowflake dies - I'm going to try your "chipboard" method (thanks for the reminder)! See you at Jingle Belles all year, I hope!

ReplyDeleteThis is incredible! I love how you have added texture by wrinkling the paper and the painted edge really pulls the card together. I'll have to give this technique a try. Thanks for sharing this fabulous card!
ReplyDeletethe white paint around the edges is such a fabulous touch ... and the wrinkled wrapping paper adds such great texture to your design ... so very glad you joining us at jingle belles in 2015
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love blue and white and this is so stinking pretty! What you did to the edges is wonderful. I'm going to have to remember that for the future.
