I have a fun wintery card for you today using the new Fretwork Snowflake Wafer die. I created the background using the Icy Snowflakes Embossing Folder and dies. To create my background, I used a piece of Distress Watercolor Cardstock, then misted it with water using a Distress Sprayer. I sprayed the panel with Distress Mica Stains in Snow Flurries, Unravelled, and Wonderland then dried it with a heat tool. I added some Glossy Accents and Distress MIca Flakes to add to the snowy texture. I cut the Fretwork Die several times from Champage Glitter Cardstock and Clear Acetate and layered them together. I finished the card with a sentiment from the Graceful Holiday Greetings stamp set.

I haven't commented on anyone other blog as I never win anyway BUT had to tell you this is an amazing card. It grabbed my eyeballs and made me look for a long time. How did you apply the glossy accents? - with a paint brush? The texture makes this card exceptional! Would you make a video showing how you did this? LOVE it so much!

What an amazing card! I had no idea such beauty can be credited with a die. I also had no idea about the distress sprays since they are not in stores in my area. Thank you for sharing.
