Fawny Holiday Week: Cheery & Bright
Do you know when you create a card, that just makes you squeal out loud? This was one of those cards for me. I just LOVE how this one turned out and I can’t wait to share all the details with you!
Using Lawn Fawn’s Snowflake Background Stencils I created this soft, rainbow snowflake background on Distress White Heavystock. You can actually see me create this background in a recent REEL I posted on Instagram here:

Using Distress Inks; Kitsch Flamingo, Squeezed Lemonade, and Salvaged Patina. When overlapping these colors you get a full rainbow of color! You can see in the above video, I am using the Square Ink Stands which make ink blending so much easier! I also am housing my blender brushes in the new caddy that holds 20 brushes and takes up little space on your desk, and lastly when I am stenciling I am using the 7″ Stay-Tion – LOVE this tool!
Once I had the background created, I diecut it with the largest rectangle in the Outside In Stitched Rectangle set. I then used the sentiment from Cheery Christmas to stamp “may your Christmas be cheery & bright” with Versafine Onyx Black ink and set it aside.
I then die-cut a few snowflakes from the Stitched Snowflake and mini snowflakes die sets out of Distress White Heavystock. I also cut some of the teeny tiny ones out of some Pixie Dust Sparkle Cardstock.
With the snowflakes that I cut out of Distress White Heavystock, I did some inky, wet, ink smooshing with Distress Inks.
- Picked Raspberry
- Spiced Marmalade
- Mustard Seed
- Twisted Citron
- Peacock Feathers
- Wilted Violet
I dried them with the Ranger Heat tool, and while they were on a craft sheet, I put on top a thick layer of Glossy Accents. This way if any of the glossy accents ran off the edges I knew I would be able to easily peel it away, however, I find Glossy Accents tends to stay where you place it, and it usually doesn’t drip if you have it on a flat surface.
Once the glossy accents were dry, I added some foam squares and foam strips to the backs of the snowflakes and arranged them onto the background. Using a glue tube I added some of the Pixie Dust tiny snowflakes too. Lastly, I used glossy accents and touched the tips of the snowflakes here and there with just a little bit, then sprinkled some Chunky glitter on them. I love this subtle chunky sparkle!
