Today’s cards were gel printed using snowflake masks I cut on the cricut using the Snowflake Digital Stamp Set from Echidna Studios. I love how detailed these snowflakes are; there are six in the set and I have printed them, foiled them, cut them and now gel printed with them.
I remember when I first saw the six pointed detail of a snowflake that had landed on me. It is not always possible but occasionally the flakes are very distinct and separate instead of in clumps and I am always amazed by their beauty.
I cut my stencils from Grafix matte dura-lar as it is semi-transparent and light weight. On the panel above I made a pale print with blue and white then, after it had dried created a dark print on the plate which I pulled on the same paper but with a transparent medium (either transparent white paint or more likely matte medium). The little sentiment is from AALL & Create ‘everyday sentiments’ set.
On this second card I used a pale blue paint which didn’t give me a very bold print but pulling it with gold paint created a soft shimmery effect.
Always looking for the matchy-matchy, I found a scrap of cardstock in the same blue tone and cut a mat and sentiment using MFT little lowercase letter dies.

Hello, Heather. Absolutely love your designs and your daughter’s website, Echidna Studios. So inspiring.
I would love for you to make a video on “Snow on snow on snow”. I’m not quite able to figure out the steps you took to create it.
I hope you have a wonderful day.
Hello, thank you for your kind message. I hadn’t decided yet what my first video would be for this year so thanks for the suggestion. I’ll see what I can do…
Thank you so much for responding and for considering that video. As I mentioned before, I love your work. I save many of your emails for inspiration.
Happy New Year!!!
This is a beautiful snowflake and both cards are so pretty! I love the shades of blue!
These are gorgeous
Love the cool colors on this. It represents the frosty weather we have here, much colder than normal. Love that dark blue snowflake too!
