Pink Snowflake

Posted on November 10, 2020November 9, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a fabulous bright and shimmery pink snowflake card made using the Snowflake Wishes stamp set.

To recreate the pink snowflake card, you will need:

Smoky Slate card base –- 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded lower right corner
Magenta Madness – 4⅜” by 2⅞” – Rounded lower right corner
Whisper White – 4 ¼” by 2 ¾” – Rounded lower right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded lower right corner – for the inside
Scrap Magenta Madness

I began by stamping one of the groups of smaller snowflakes in Smoky Slate ink onto the Smoky Slate card base for a bit of tone on tone texture.

Using the same ink I stamped one of the large snowflakes onto the smaller Whisper White panel. I took another of the large snowflakes and stamped it over the first snowflake in 2^nd Generation Smoky Slate ink.

Using the So Many Snowflake Dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine I die cut one of the small snowflakes from the scrap Magenta Madness card. This snowflake was added on top of the stamped snowflakes using cut up Mini Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set was stamped below the snowflakes in Magenta Madness ink. I absolutely love this colour – it really pops doesn’t it?

I managed to get a little Magenta Madness ink smudge below the sentiment so added a couple of the tiny snowflakes in the Magenta ink to hide it………

The stamped layer was glued to the Magenta Madness layer using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and added to the card front on Dimensionals.

To complete the card I added a Basic Rhinestone to the centre of the snowflake and I couldn’t resist spraying the whole card with my handmade Frost White Shimmer Spray. This was made by filling a Stampin’ Spritzer ¾ full of 70% alcohol and adding a pea sized drop of the shimmer paint. Shake well and spray. GORGEOUS………….

I hope you like the card.

To Recreate the All Things Fabulous card, you will need:.

Rococo Rose card base –- 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper right and lower left corners
Coastal Cabana – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper right corner

I ran one of the larger Whisper White panels through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. I love the subtle effect this folder gives to a project. The embossed layer was glued to the Coastal Cabana panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole panel was added to the Rococo Rose card base with the same liquid Glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -All Things Fabulous used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop using Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight and Rococo Rose.

The larger flower was stamped in Rococo Rose. I stamped the inner detailed layer in full strength ink, added the middle layer in 2^nd generation ink and the final layer in 3^rd generation ink. I love that you can get lots of different shades from the same ink pad.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -All Things Fabulous used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop using Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight and Rococo Rose.

The smaller flower was stamped in Daffodil Delight ink. I find this one works better stamping the images in reverse – so 3^rd generation ink for largest stamp first, 2^nd generation for the middle image and full strength for the more detailed image,

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -All Things Fabulous used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop using Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight and Rococo Rose.

The leaves were stamped in Coastal Cabana, full strength and 2^nd generation. All of the images were die cut using the Fabulous Floral dies. The images were then adhered to the card front with either liquid adhesive and/or dimensionals.

When making a card like this I always start by stamping the largest image and working through the images to the smallest.

The next leaf was stamped in Bermuda Bay ink, the next in Magenta Madness and the smallest in Daffodil Delight ink.

I always place the 2 side panels first, getting the border as even as possible. I can then add the centre strip making sure it is an equal distance from the other 2 strips. You also need to match up your pattern so don’t mix the up!
