Die cut 3¼in circle in the front panel of the card. Stamp sentiment centrally on the
inside of the card. - Cut a white panel of Heavy Smooth cardstock (5 ¾ x5 ¾in). Stamp wreath
(Archival Black) centrally on the panel. Position the star border stamp on the - Stamping Platform so it is central along edge of the panel. Ink up with Archival Black

these are all 3D mounted. - Stamp wreath onto a page of book text.

SUPPLIES:

- Mermaid and Snowflake paints to create ombre (shaded) background – shading dark
to light. Dry. - Stencil snowflakes on top using stencil PS070 using a mix of Metallic Glaze and a
touch(v small amount) of Snowflake – adding Snowflake makes the transparent
based Metallic Glaze more opaque and so the snowflakes will be more visible. Dry. - Stamp the baubles (Archival Black) onto the panel. Colour with a white Uniball gel
pen. - Ombre paint a piece of Smoothy using Cherry Red and Coral Fresco Finish paints.
Dry. Stamp the baubles onto this, paint the bauble caps Gold, dry and cut out. - Use a glue stick to attach the baubles to the background panel. Add white detailing
(snowflakes on baubles). - Attach background panel to card base (double sided tape). Draw around edge with
