Falling for the Holidays 2022 {BYSHC} Linky Party ~ Stellar Snowflake Stencil ~ Gina K Designs

  Hello there crafty friend!
Today I'm sharing a pretty card for the Falling for the Holidays 2022 {BYSHC} Linky Party using a beautiful stencil from return Sponsor Gina K. Designs called Stellar Snowflake. This card went in a whole different direction than I had planned but I think it turned out really pretty. 


I ink blended Rustic Wilderness and Shabby Shutters Distress Oxide inks over the stencil onto my white card stock. I chose green inks because I paired up the pretty stenciled background with the White Winter {paper pack} from Sponsor Unity Stamp Co. I thought it would be a fun non-traditional color for a snowflake card...  I really love how it turned out!


I die cut the stenciled layer with the largest stitched rectangle die from the Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies} from Unity. I also die cut one of the pretty green papers from the paper pack with the largest stitched scalloped rectangle die. Before adhering my die cut layers together I adhered the banner flags to the white layer using iCraft UltraBond Adhesive from new Sponsor Therm O Web and then I trimmed the excess off the edges.


I adhered the layers to a Kraft card front and then adhered the card front to a white A2 top fold card base. I stamped the sentiment from the Wishing You Mini stamp set from Gina K Designs with Sugar Cube Pigment ink from Sponsor Taylored Expressions onto a scrap of Kraft card stock. I added some white embossing powder to the sentiment and melted it with a heat tool. I trimmed the sentiment and adhered it to the card. To finish off the card, I added a few enamel dots to the snowflake from the Cozy Flannel enamel dots from Sponsor Gina Marie Designs


My inspiration for my card design was past {BYSHC} Sketch 23 - a fun one for large stencils or stamps! I did move my sentiment for this one.
