Let’s get Started:

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

Card Face:5.5 x 4.25

Snow Drifts: white cardstock, 5.5 x 4.25


Card Face:

  • I laid the card face in my stamping platform and stamped the image twice with Versafine Onyx.

.

Other:

  • I tore two strips from the bottom edge of the cardstock, making sure that I had uneven, rounded edges.

  • I looked through my binder ** and selected a prepared sentiment.

See Ready to Go Binder under Techniques in the header to learn how I use this as a tool to increase efficiency.


Assembly

  • I glued the card face to the card base.

  • I glued the two torn strips to the bottom of the card face to represent snow banks.

  • I put small pieces of paper behind the top of the sentiment, building up the thickness a bit.

  • I glued the sentiment into place as shown - the layers behind the top ensured that the entire circle was supported and could be glued down.



Final Thoughts:
