Small clear gems.

Firstly, using the mask and the glitter paste, I stencilled this onto the acetate and put to one side to dry. I tend to leave things like this overnight to allow it to dry properly, but a couple of hours would probably do.

I then cut a piece of white card 1/2 cm smaller than the card blank and coloured the edges with the frosty Jade colour cloud using a smoothie, this was then glued onto the card blank.

I then cut another piece of white card 1/2 cm smaller than the previous one and embossed it with the snowflake lattice embossing folder before sticking this on the previous layer.

The frame was cut using the pierced squares, 1 just using the  edge dies and another with the decorative element added. I then coloured the plain one with the colour cloud and stuck them together.

I then cut the acetate to size to fit behind the frame, attached the acetate to the frame with cos,I'd shimmer glue and stuck this on the front of the card with some mounting foam.

Next I cut the tag from Sue's snowflake corner, border and tag and stamped the sentiment from Phill Martin's Bauble Elegance stamps, and edged the tag with a hint of the colour cloud.This was then added to the centre of the acetate.

Finally a triple bow was added to the side, with a small dazzler in the middle and a couple of small gems added to the centre of the snowflakes on the tag.

I'm really pleased with this card, and it can be done in any colour.

Until next time

Happy crafting
