Hello, Karen Brown here! Are you ready to add a touch of winter magic to your cardmaking? In today's video, I will guide you step-by-step through the enchanting process of creating shimmery snowflake backgrounds that will leave everyone in awe!
If you are having trouble viewing this video, please watch HERE on YouTube.
Today, we will be creating two cards and one tag using Hero Arts NEW Reactive Glitz Inks and the Kaleidoscope Snowflake Bold Prints stamp.
For card #1, my background was created with French Pink and African Violet Reactive Glitz Inks and the Kaleidoscope Snowflake Bold Prints stamp. I added a white Wood Frame and an adorable Peeking Penguin die cut to "frost" my card.
Look at the gorgeous shimmer from the Glitz Inks!
For card #2, I did my ink blending on Peony cardstock with French Pink and African Violet and then heat embossed the Kaleidoscope Snowflake stamp. Next, I added snowflakes die cut from Glitter Cardstock using the Snowflake Patterned Cover Plate Die . Such an easy way to die cut loads of snowflakes!
I also created a mixed media tag that features Glitter die cut Snowflakes , Mini Clay Snowflake Embellishments and a Holiday Message Strips Hero Transfer Sentiment .
My background was created with Egyptian Blue and Naples Yellow Reactive Glitz Inks. I added a bit of Purple Galaxy ink around the edges for a frosty tint.
