I have been invited by Raquel to Guest Design for Crazy 4 Challenges this month! The first challenge is to make a card using any technique – old or new. So I decided on stenciling using embossing paste. The stencil I used was actually cut using a new Stampin Up background die, Blizzard Thinlits die. I cut it out of a heavy weight card stock and used Nuvo Glimmer paste in Silver Gem.
The silver embossed sentiment is the coordinating set from Stamp Up – Beautiful Blizzard – and is mounted on silver card stock die cut with the Karen Burniston Crosshatch Circle and surrounded with rhinestones. (p.s. Silver is hard to photograph!)
Inside I used the new Karen Burniston Explosion die to make this fun design! I popped up snowflakes and used the silver embossed sentiment from the same set as the front of the card.
I also added a Stampin Up border using Delicate Borders die. The snowflakes are backed on an acetate circle to give them some added strength. Check all the Crazies and see what techniques they used for this challenge! Hugs, Fran
