Dreamy Snowflakes in Cloud Cover

Dreamy Snowflakes Bundle

This weeks Monochromatic Insta Hop featured color is Cloud Cover. As soon as the color was announced I knew I wanted to use the Dreamy Snowflakes Bundle! This card is absolutely beautiful in person. I had a difficult time photographing it.

Dreamy Snowflake Bundle

Two tone cardstock embossed and a sanding block, expose the white core, creating these beautiful distressed snowflakes.

And just look at the detail of the stamped snowflakes on the inner message liner. Just gorgeous!

Simply Leaves - 3 cards, 1 layout

Simply Leaves Bundle - my first three cards that inspired today's cards

I had such a great response to the card in the upper left corner, that I decided to look for ways to use the same layout to create different cards through the use of dimensionals, ink, DSP, ribbon, etc..... The cards in the picture above are my initial attempts. To see the original post for the first card, click HERE.

Enjoy today's YouTube tutorial to create these three cards. Written instructions below. Product details at the end of this post.

Card New Version #1

Simply Leaves Bundle

On my inspiration card, the back layer of leaves were on dimensionals, then the leaves in the foreground were on stacked dimensionals. For today's card, I glued the back layer of leaves down flat, then the foreground leaves are on just a single layer of dimensionals.

I also changed the leaf stamp from the veined stamp to the dotted stamp. One thing I would have done differently, is I should have stamped the veins on the leaves. I love the dots, but I think the leaf veins would have enhanced the leaves. I probably would have used Blackberry Bliss for the veins.

I do love the colors that I used here: Blackberry Bliss, Old Olive, Golden Glow.

Adhere the two Blackberry Bliss leaves to the card front using glue. Adhere Old Olive and Golden Glow leaves to card front using dimensionals. Adhere card front to front of card base.
Scatter dots on card front.
Using Blackberry Bliss, Old Olive, and Golden Glow inks, stamp small leaves on left side of message liner. Adhere message liner to inner card base.

Card New Version #2

Simply Leaves Bundle

On my inspiration card, the back layer of leaves AND the foreground leaves were all on a single layer of dimensionals. For today's card, I adhered the back layer of leaves using a single layer of dimensionals, then the foreground leaves are on a double layer of dimensionals.

I also changed the leaf from a stamp to plaid DSP's. One thing I would have done differently, is I should have stamped the veins on the leaves. I think the leaf veins would have enhanced the plaid leaves. I probably would have used Early Espresso for the veins.

The colors that I used here: Cajun Craze, Peaceful Pine and Golden Glow.
