Get Cracking: Snowflake Wishes
You know me, I love a GOOD snowflake stamp, and the Hero Arts Color Layering Snowflake set is awesome!
For this pink layered snowflake, I used Distress Oxide in
- Spun Sugar
- Kitsch Flamingo
- Picked Raspberry
I had a lot of fun playing with different color combos for snowflakes, more on that later. The coordinating dies make a beautiful layered, dimensional snowflake SO easy!
Of course, I had to add some Prisma Glitter to the snowflake layers for some holiday sparkle! I also added some Trinity Stamps Rhinestone Embellishments, the above was the Morganite Muse
I stamped the sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black ink and matted the card on some Lawn Fawn Guava cardstock.
What is awesome about this set, and the color layering, is you can quickly make several cards, and easily change the color combos. I stamped all the first layers, cleaning the stamp in between color changes with the Lawn Fawn Stamp Shammy. Then once the snowflakes were all stamped, I added the sentiments, glittered the top layer, and matted them on coordinating cardstock. Lastly, I added some rhinestones.
Using Distress Oxides, with their pigment properties stamps a nice image and layers beautifully. I used the following color combos:
Red:
- Tattered Rose
- Festive Berries
- Aged Mahogany
Ruby Radiance Rhinestone Embellishments
Teal:
- Salvaged Patina
- Broken China
- Peacock Feathers
Aquamarine Ripple Rhinestone Embellishments
Blue:
- Tumbled Glass
- Stormy Sky
- Blueprint Sketch
Faceted Fluorite Rhinestone Embellishments
Purple:
- Shaded Lilac
- Dusty Concord
- Wilted Violet
Amethyst Accent Rhinestone Embellishments
I LOVE how many different snowflakes you can create, just changing the colors!
