I had planned on going a different route with this card. Originally, I was going to use the Build A Tree set from Hero Arts to create a wreath of stamped and die cut leaves and snowflakes and this Hand Drawn Snowflakes set was just going to provide a nice background for the wreath and then I inked up these lovely snowflakes and somehow I didn’t want to cover up the background anymore! So here you have the resulting clean and simple snowflake background card! This post is part of a blog hop to celebrate the winter release from Hero Arts – more on that below. I’ve linked all supplies at the end of this post. Compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

SIMPLE SNOWFLAKE BACKGROUND

This card is so simple to put together! I used the Picket Fence Life Changing Brushes to blend Stormy Sky, Evergreen Bough and Black Soot Distress Oxide inks over a piece of Neenah Solar White card. I kept the darkest blends around the edges for a vignette effect. I’ve included Evergreen Bough in my supplies as I did use it but I think the depth of colour in the Stormy Sky and Black Soot rather overtook the colour scheme.

I dried the panel with a heat tool and then stamped the Hand Drawn Snowflakes background with clear embossing ink and white heat embossed. I then splattered with white gouache and a solution of Perfect Pearls. I die cut the panel with a Rounded Rectangle die and wrapped with a black and white twine before foam mounting on a card base cut and scored from Ivory card.

For the sentiment, I used the Build A Tree set and stamped the greeting in clear embossing ink on a piece of card I’d blended Fired Brick Distress Oxide ink and then white heat embossed before trimming to a banner with a ribbon end. I added the sentiment over the background with foam adhesive.

Lastly, I embellished with diamonds, sequins and droplets for an icy finish.
