Tips tricks and techniques Tuesday Snowy Wonder

 Who remembers the wonder of seeing your first polaroid picture developing before your very eyes? The image emerging on the shiny paper was just amazing! For some reason my mind wandered off to these memories whilst creating today's card! So I give you my Snowy Wonder polaroid card! 

This fun card is made by creating the frame from cardstock first. Then stamping the greeting. Now take your clear embossing powder,  heat tool and versamark ink pad and a silicone mat. 

Cover the frame in versamark ink then the clear powder. Now place it onto your silicone mat and melt the powder with your heat tool. Repeat this process 3 times to get a really shiny frame.

Create a mat that is a little larger than the appature of the frame. Now  blend your background using a piece of torn copier paper to make the snowy drifts at the bottom. Next stamp the mountains and trees. Once they are in place use the snow dots stamp to add falling snow to the top portion of your picture. 

Stamp the house and the larger tree on a seperate piece of cardstock and cut them out. Adhere them in place. Then adhere the frame over the picture.

Use an embossing folder to add texture and interest to your card base before adhering the "polaroid" . The fun mini pompom ribbon adds just a touch of  whimsy don't you think?
