• Cut Holographic  Panel with Master Layout 1: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"
• Cut Layering Weight White Panel: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and ink blend the entire panel with Plum Punch ink. Then with a light hand add Blue Denim around the edges for richness.
• Die cut ink blended panel with the Snowflake Circle Cover Plate. Panel size: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4".

I created a mini slimline card featuring the Peace Love and Joy mini stamp set and a sentiment from the Perfect Poinsettia stamp set by Gina K. Designs. 

 

I started off with a panel of Tranquil Teal card stock cut down to a mini slimline sized panel (2 7/8" x 5 7/8") before I stamped the snowflake image in both corners and embossed with gold embossing powder. I then used Tranquil Teal and Blue Denim (with a very light hand) and ink blended the outer edges. This is what adds the richness to the layers. The gold mats were created with layering white card stock that I inked the edges with embossing ink and embossed with the same gold embossing powder. This is a trick to saving gold card stock and getting all your gold accents to coordinate on your project. For embellishment I added a few gold pearls. All supplies used are listed below.

 

Card Measurements:

White Mini Slimline Card Base: 3 1/2" x 6 1/2"

Gold Mat: 3" x 6" - Master Layout 7

Tranquil Teal Panel: 2 7/8" x 3 7/8" - Master Layout 7

Gold Rectangle Mat: 2 1/8" x 2 7/8" - Master Layout 7

Stitched Rectangle: 2" x 2 3/4" - Master Layout 7

Gold Circle Mat: 2 1/4" - Master Layout 3

Tranquil Teal Stitched Circle: 2 1/8" - Master Layout 3

My card features the Wonder of Christmas and Holiday Greetings stamp sets from Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps. I stamped the images with alcohol friendly ink and used copic marker to color. I then cut the images out with the coordinating die set and created a little scene on my card front.
