Framed Snowflakes

Good Monday morning.  I never get to see real snowflakes here in Florida and I miss them.  So I make up for it by creating snowy winter scenes or using beautiful snowflake dies on my holiday projects.  My project today was made using the Impression Obsession Large Snowflake and Small Snowflake set paired with the Spellbinders Grand Squares.

I started by creating a square frame and attached to the card base with mounting tape. I cut a single large snowflake and one small snowflake set.  This is the first time I had cut out the large snowflake and was so surprised that it created several separate sections that me to offset and create the delicate layers. I highly suggest that you use a shim when you cut this.  I used my metal adapter plate and the delicate layers cut perfectly.

I applied glossy accents to several key spots on each layer and attached to the card base.  I used rolled up glue dots to attach the top two layers to create dimension. The smaller flakes were attached around the frame and card base with glossy accents. I had the hardest time getting good photos of the different views and they were hard to edit.

Here’s a side view to show the dimension of the large snowflake. I really love how delicate it is.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you have a great week.
