Rustic Snowflakes

Another snowflake print for you because, of course I didn’t stop at one or two! There are six different snowflakes in the Echidna Studiossnowflake digital stamp set‘ so the gel printing possibilities are definitely endless. I created snowflake masks using the Cricut and Grafix matte duralar.

I hope to soon make a video showing my process but to put it briefly, I cover the gel plate in a layer of white paint, lay the masks on top and then remove paint using some tissue paper which lifts paint all around and within the patterned mask. I remove the masks, let the paint dry then pull the print on kraft paper with dark blue paint. The combination of white, blue and kraft is rustic and beautiful in my opinion. The quirky sentiment is another from the AALL & Create ‘everyday sentiments’ set.

I have some Australian family visiting this week so I plan to be playing with real snow not gel printed snow! Have a great week.

    I think this snowflake creation using this pretty Echidna design looks great using the gelli plate and the white beneath the stencilled snowflake and then the dark blue added to pull the print is a really strong look Heather. Hope you have a lovely time with your Australian family visiting you. The snow will be fun for them and a big change from back home. x
