I used:
- 5.75" x 5.75" square white card blank, side opening
- a piece of the same white card stock. trimmed to 4.75" x 4.75" and set aside whilst I did the patterned layer
- for the patterned layer I used a very pretty pink piece of snowflake paper from Whimsy's 'Blurry Flurries' paper pack, die cut using a 4.5" x 4.5" die from the NBUS Penny Black 'snowflake stitch frames' set of dies
- then added the pink patterned layer to the white piece, before gluing the panel to the card front
- for the sentiment 'NOEL' word I used dies from the Creative Expressions 'Stacked Noel Layering Die' set - cutting three layers in solid white, solid black and then detailed white - and glued them together in that order (the set also comes with a backing 'shadow' die but I didn't feel it needed that)
- glued the sentiment onto the pink paper layer
- added a double cut and layered white snowflake, using the same set of dies, on top of the letter 'O'
- final touch - a single little diamante gem in the centre of the snowflake just to add a tiny touch of sparkle - finished!
It was a first outing for the 'NOEL' die set so I'm linking into Darnell's NBUS Challenge #66 HERE!
Phew, that was touch and go, I need a lie down! And, being a bit loopy, I did make two cards exactly the same! I might hunt out bigger diamantes and check if a slightly larger size would be better in the middle of the snowflake.
