Here’s how I was inspired today:

I’m featuring the following My Pretty Things sets:

Fancy Scandi Snowflake | stamp
Fancy Scandi Snowflake | stencil
Fancy Scandi Snowflake | die
Bold & Scripted Holiday Sentiments | stamp + die*

*available in the Virtual Scandinavian Christmas Retreat

My First card used the entire Fancy Scandi Snowflake suite of products: stamp, stencil + die.

I combined the following Catherine Pooler inks:

Rockin’ Red
Minted
Aquatini
Uptown
Macchiato

The A2 panel is a watercolor panel. I smooshed the Aquatini pad onto my glass mat and spritzed it with water. Then I smooshed the A2 panel into the ink and set it with my heat tool. I did the same with the sentiment panel.

I went around the center snowflake with glue and glitter.

You can call my other card a bonus. I kept seeing the snowflake as Latte Art.

I heat embossed the Fancy Scandi Snowflake in white on a ColorWheel Truffle panel and cut it out with a circle die. I used the next larger circle die along with the same size I cut the Fancy Scandi Snowflake with Poppy ColorWheel panel. I hand cut the mug handle.
