Let’s get Started:

Card Base: 5.5 x 8.5, scored and folded at 4.25

Card Face:  5.5 x 4.25

Card Face:

  • I placed the card face on my grip mat and positioned the stencil so that just over half of it was on the paper.
  • I inked the exposed areas with metallic silver ink.

Other:

  • I die-cut a tiny snowflake from silver cardstock.
  • I found a narrow piece of cardstock in my stash: I had put it together to use up a few leftover scraps of patterned paper. The common theme in all the papers was white and silver, making it perfect for this project.

Assembly

  • I glued the card face to the card base,  and then added the narrow strip of leftovers, aligning tightly to the right-hand side.
  • I added the die-cut snowflake to the center of the stencilled snowflake,  cutting it off where it hung over on the left-hand side.
  • I added a small silver disc to the center of the die-cut snowflake.

Final Thoughts:

I’m so pleased with how these individual parts came together.   It’s an elegant, contemporary card.

Supplies: (and links where possible)
