I love this two piece die from Hero Arts. The circle of snowflakes and the ornament outline are separate dies, so you can cut out an ornament as I have done here or cut an opening ringed by snowflakes into a card front which I will show y'all another time.
I started by dropping green, blue, silver and white Hero Arts glimmer inks onto a craft mat, misted them with water and dragged paper through it all. I cut a solid ornament shape twice from aqua paper and once from the inked paper and stacked them before layering on the snowflake layer. I used a Birch Press Designs die to cut the sentiment three times, stacked them and attached them to the shadow piece cut from Silver paper. All this stacking gives the card dimension. To help separate the ornament from the background I embossed the background with Stampin' Up's Subtle folder. I finished the card off with some bitty sparkles in the centers of the snowflakes.
I used the Freshly Made Sketch below and drew on the Jingle Belles Challenge theme of peace on Earth and the ABC Christmas Challenge theme of sparkle and texture. Here is a shot using a direct flash, so you can see how sparkly it is.
Thank you for stopping by! Until next time, Hansi
those glimmer inks make a gorgeous ornament ... so glad you shared your PEACE with us at Jingle Belles.
