Gorgeous, Betsy! What a fun technique! Glad I have time to think about what dies to use…besides snowflakes.
This is amazing! Thanks for the vinyl tip too!!
So cool – I was admiring that technique this week. I don’t have an Instagram account so couldn’t look at the post you did there on the technique. So glad it became a Make it Monday!
This was a very fun technique. I made one card front yesterday which I will turn into a finished card in the next day or so and if I get a chance, I have more ideas I want to play with! The tip about using vinyl was awesome. In fact I have some Cricut stencil material that worked perfectly. The best part is that I was able to place the used cuts on a sheet of wax paper so I can use them again.
Thanks for a tutorial I enjoyed very much.
I had a few chuckles because at the beginning of the video, I noticed Betsy inadvertently had formed hand shadow puppets that were talking! Now, I do have an overactive imagination that sees shapes in clouds and so forth, but I got a kick out of this! Aside from that, the video and card creation was stunning! What a fabulous technique and I can hardly wait to make one. Thanks Betsy, for brightening my day!
Beautiful and artsy! Thank you Betsy for sharing your tutorial. You always keep us inspired & your techniques are always fresh and fun! Seriously! 🙂
