Fllurry of Wishes Card by Sandi MacIver



Flurry of Wishes stamp set for the Sweet Sunday Sketch challenge for this week:

Stampin Up Flurry of Wishes green and blue snowflake


On to my card for today:  I embossed the images onto watercolor paper so I could quickly add some color to the background:

Sandi’s Tips & Tricks:
  • White heat emboss the small snowflakes on the card front, White heat emboss the medium sized snowflake on another scrap of watercolor paper.
  • Use your Aqua painter to add some water to the paper and then the inkpad lids from Bermuda Bay and Wild Wasabi for the color….repeat with the larger snowflake.
  • Let them dry
  • Attach the background piece to the Wild Wasabi mat using Fast Fuse, and then attach to the card base.
  • Make a Whisper White Flag Tail and stamp the sentiment in Bermuda Bay, mount it to the mat and trim before attaching to the card front.
  • Cut out the larger snowflake, loop some Silver Metallic Thread, and add that to the card front, securing it to the left side of the Sentiment.
  • Use Dimensionals to attach the snowflake over the left side of the sentiment.
  • Embellish with rhinestones and Candy Dots
  • Place a small ICE RHINESTONE Embellishment in the center of the large snowflake:

  • Card Base:  Bermuda Bay 4-1/4 x 11, score and fold at 5-1/2 Wild Wasabi 3-3/4 x 5, Water color paper 3-5/8 x 4-7/8.
  • Art Piece:  Watercolor paper 3 x 3 (I used 90 pound cold press water color paper)
  • Sentiment:  Whisper White 3/4 x 4, Bermuda Bay Mat 1 x 4
