I chose to go with the colour scheme of red, white, and a touch of green and light blue. I used the new Bold Borders: Snowflake and die cut a sheet of homemade glitter paper. (I used some sparkle acrylic paint to paint a sheet of thin cardstock.) I added the "Joy" sentiment, which comes with the coverplate. I heat embossed it with a red glitter embossing powder, as well as the bow from Corner Adorners. The bells were embossed with clear powder on blue cardstock, and it's done. I like how this turned out, and may make more like this.
Here's a closer look at the sparkle. Unfortunately, it's really difficult in photos to see the white sparkle on the coverplate. It's so pretty, yet subtle, in real life.
Thanks for looking, and enjoy your hopping!
Very pretty!

ReplyDeleteHow clever to make your own glitter paper with paint! This is really beautiful! I adore the font of the Joy die & just may have to get those dies!
ReplyDeleteSparkle acrylic paint? Wow, I’m so out of touch with new crafty items, but I love how your glittered paper looks. Awesome design, Kathryn! How did you adhere that delicate border? Curious minds want to know because I love the Bold Borders but assumed they'd be time-consuming to adhere. Does spray adhesive work?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I just love the snowflake background!
