SO fun, right?
Here are some extra tips from Preeti:
- Start by adding your pine branches in a “garland” around the top and upper sides of your card panel. Stamp and emboss each shade one at a time.
- When you’ve got to look you like, heat up your panel and start sprinkling pinches of clear embossing powder over the surface and melt it as you go.
- Use your watercolors to paint over the entire panel, fading out the darkness as you get to the bottom.
- Once your watercoloring is completely dry, pounce some liquid adhesive over your surface and add mica flakes and/or glitter for that beautiful snowy reflection.
- Stamp and heat emboss your pine cones on brown card stock with your choice of powder – Preeti used a white with gold flecks to echo the sparkle in her background. Cur them out with the coordinating dies and add to your background.
- Stamp and add your sentiment with foam tape and add the whole panel to a card front, also with foam tape.Easier than it looks and as Preeti says, use your imagination and let your creativity flow!
