This 5x7 card was made as one piece, then cut to size for the card base. Simply place a stencil over your cardstock, then use sponge daubers and ink pads to color the snowflakes. Once all the snowflakes are colored in, leave the stencil in place. Using a pallet knife, cover entire stencil with a thin layer of glass bead glitter gel, then remove the stencil. Allow the piece to dry for several hours or overnight and voila! I really should be a rep for glass bead glitter gel because I would put it on everything if I could because the effects are that amazing! However, I ruined my new paper trimmer when I cut this paper because the glass bead glitter gel hardens that much. So it is best to cut the paper to the size you need first, then use the glass bead glitter gel. The glitter and shine from this card almost requires sunglasses, so I kept the layout super simple. I love this Sue Wilson die and thought it was perfect with this card. It was nearly impossible to get a good photo of this card due to all the shine. This is really a fun technique to do though.

You do the coolest techniques, Karen! LOVE this and love the look of the glass bead gel. Tried it once but obviously was unskilled with it. This looks awesome!
