This is for a Think Snow swap. The large snowflake is made with a Dreamweaver brass stencil and their regular embossing paste, then sprinkled with DD glitter while still wet. I love this technique, especially for the holidays. Here's a great link with instructions for all kinds of techniques using brass stencils: http://stencilwithstyle.com/How%20To.htm
I first did the paste embossing on the Brocade Blue card base, and then overlaid the image with the Holiday Thyme paper in which I cut out a 3 x 3 window.
I added more DD glitter on the small snowflakes around the image and on the Holiday Thyme paper using the clear Glaze pen. I don't have their glue pen yet, but this seems to work fine.
This is a 5 1/4 inch square card. The photo doesn't come close to showing how sparkly it really is. Sigh. I sure wish I could buy more sheets of this gorgeous snowflake paper. :o)
