  • Cut panel of Heavy Smooth cardstock (4 ¾ x 5 ¾ in) for the backbround. Use Bora Bora,
  • 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
    black fine-line pen.
  • Stamp sentiment onto strip of Heavy Smoothy. Cut out and attach to card base with
