Happy Monday! This week at BBTB Regina chose the snowflake cut from Accent Essentials. This is one of my favorite cuts off this cartridge. In fact, I've used it so many times that it took me awhile to come up with something new. I decided to creat a flurry by welding an number of them on the shadow cut to the sentiment "Let it Snow" using one of the fonts from Storybook.
Instead of welding it to my usual rounded rectangle or square, I made a shaped card base using a large shadow of the cut as well. the white blackout layer is cuttled with Swiss Dots.
Then I layered up a storm, subtracting from the base design at each layer to maintain support and allow for a multi dimensional effect. I glittered the snowflakes using Martha Stewart glitter and my Xyron and added silver adhesive beads to the sentiment.
There's quite a blizzard going on at Bitten By The Bug, so be sure and stop by to see the marvelous creations by my Design Team sisters. And why not get a jump on your Christmas cards and play along? Also if you hurry there is still yime to enter the current contest sponsored by Paper Blooms. You have until midnight TONIGHT! Click HERE for details.
