Step 1

Cut a piece of Gold foil cardstock down to 4" x 5" [10.16 cm x 12.7 cm] and adhere to the front of a white A7 card leaving ½" [1.27 cm] border at the top and sides.

Step 2

Cut a piece of white cardstock down to 3¾" x 4¾" [9.5 cm x 12 cm]. Before adhering this piece to the card, mix some Silver paint so that it is watery, then dip your paintbrush and load it with paint. Tap the paintbrush against your other hand over the white cardstock to splatter paint it. Let dry.

Step 3

Now, adhere the splatter painted piece to the centre of the Gold cardstock.

Step 4

Die cut snowflakes from Gold cardstock using your Sizzix® machine.

Step 5

Now adhere the large snowflake to the middle of the white cardstock.

Step 6

Layer a Silver glitter snowflake on top of the Gold one, then layer the smaller Gold snowflakes on top of the Silver one.

Step 7

Spread some glue in the middle of the snowflakes and generously pour glitter over the wet glue. Let dry.

Step 8

Stamp "Merry Christmas" at the bottom of the card with Gold ink. If desired, sprinkle the ink, while it's wet, with Gold embossing powder. Heat the powder until it melts and looks embossed.
