"Snowflakes are kisses from heaven" is
a brand new stamp from Quietfire Design. I chose Ranger Adirondack
Brights ink in Sailboat Blue for the stamping and
sponging. This ink looks soft and pale on the coated cardstock base,
brighter and more intense on the matte cardstock rectangle where the phrase is
stamped. I embossed 2.5" gold notary seals with a Cuttlebug
folder (Ice Crystals) and used the large circles to draw the eye. (Tip:
take your time peeling the embossed notary seals from the backing - they
might tear if you aren't vigilent when lifting the edges) I punched
tiny stars (Fiskars punch) and 1" snowflakes (EK Success punch) from
Blue Iris and White Iris Shimmer Sheetz (Elizabeth Craft Designs). The
tiny stars are secured with GemTac glue (Beacon Adhesives). (Tip: A
small dot of glue applied with a corsage pin is all that's needed, I used
Embellie Gellie to lift each star and place it atop the wet glue.
The snowflakes are layered in pairs on foam dots to create shadows
and extra dimension. The top snowflake in each pair is embellished
with a different snowflake peel-off (Glitter Silver/Gold Peel-offs #7055,
Elizabeth Craft Designs). Not one to be a minimalist, I added
sparkly fibers from my stash of knitting yarns, and used Glitter Cardstock
(Darice) as the border around the stamped rectangle.
I have been looking for a product like Embellie Gellie for years since a friend showed me a stylus with a similar product on the end, but she couldn't remember what it was called! Thanks to Judi for that insight. It is in now on order from my supplier!! I'm so excited - it will be like having another hand!
