I made this card right before we left on Friday. It's a 4" x 8.5" card made to fit a business sized envelope (I have some papers to mail and wanted a pretty card to mail them with LOL!).
It's a different size to work w/ and you need to put a little effort into balancing out the layout and whatnot otherwise the card will turn out looking choppy (in my opinion anyway!).
For the snowflake I inked it up *first* w/ VersaMark then w/ Cranberry Crisp before stamping it onto Whisper White CS. I then poured on Heat & Stack powder (**note - you need to work quickly when doing the VM and Classic Ink method as it's not as sticky and the H&S powder doesn't stay as well - also heating the CS from *underneath* helps a lot as it keeps the powder from blowing off).
Once the H&S Powder was melted I poured on the Dazzling Diamonds Glitter and re-heated the powder and glitter to set it. I then matted it on True Thyme CS and on Bashful Blue CS that I roughed up the edges of.
The card base itself was pretty simple. I made it from Cranberry Crisp CS (which I have to order more of - I LOVE that color - it's so perfect for Holiday cards!!) and added some Holiday Thyme DS Paper to the bottom 2/3s.
After I adhered the main image to the card I faux stitched a border around it (w/out using a gel pen - just poked the holes and left as is). I then tied on some of the stitched Thyme ribbon and added 3 Burgundy Eyelets to the bottom of the card.
I decided to stamp the envelope to match (which I rarely ever do but I should as it looks SO much nicer to get a card w/ a stamped envie!) - and that was it!
