Snow Fairy and Mitten Cards by Dianna

Hi everyone Dianna here with two snowflake cards.



The Snow Fairy card is my take from a card I saw on Pinterest.


The Fairy is from Gina's Designs Garden Fairies. When I saw this particlar fairy I thought she looked like a ice fairy. I used Sparkling H2O's on the Fairy and snowflakes. I painted one of Gina's trees with white acrylic, then used Copic Markers and white pearl chalk ink to give it a wintery affect. I punched with a Fisker 1/2 inch and 1 inch punches on clear vellium and a white metallic paper. I then distressed all of the circles with a silver chalk ink. I distressed the teal paper with light brown ink and cut the branches off the tree. I laid out the branches and circles to look like snow globes. Then placed the snowflakes around the card like the fairy was creating them. To finish off the card I used rhinestones on the snowflakes and through out the card.
I picked up an small envelope maker from Taylored Expressions and decided that it would be a great on the front of a card. I decided to use some of the pink paper from Crate Paper - Bundled Up.
I papered mittens from Gina's Designs Winter Shape Set. I layered Stickles on the plain chipboard snowflakes to create the vintage look on the snowflakes. I then printed out the "in the meadow" saying from the computer but a giftcard would be great in that slot as well. Rhinestones and a teal bow complete the look.

Two Christmas Cards by Dianna

Hi Everyone Dianna here with two Christmas Cards.
The first card is Santa with a tree, wreath and word Believe from Gina's Designs. The background paper is "Beauty" from Authentique which is not actually "christmas paper" but a victorian look to it so it works well with card. The christmas tree chipboard is covered with music paper that had been distressed with brown ink. I used Stickles on the edges and to create the internal branches. I used Sparkling H2O's on the Believe and Wreath.
I used copic on Santa, the bear and rocking horse.
Santa's fur is a Snow Writer with Stickles daubed on it. A white fur ball was used to finish off Santa's hat.

The Second card's background is layed with scrap paper. The bottom layer of vintage is a Christmas word stamp on tea stained paper. The Jingle Bellsis a stamp and was stamped on a torn piece of scrap card stock. The Gina's Design Music Note was painted gold and then daubed with brown and gold Stickles. The Robin Stamp was colored with copic an the snow is from a snow writer.
