Less is always more in my creative book and that probably explains why I adore tone on tone designs in card making. For this project I die cut some pretty white snowflakes for the background and then added a beautiful holographic one as a focal point.
Use whatever snowflake or mandala dies you might already have, or, even old school cut some out by hand from a folded piece of lightweight cardstock. Have fun!

SUPPLIES
Note: I used the Gemini electric die cutting machine, with the plastic and metal shims, to cut out these very intricate snowflake dies. If you’re using a manual machine, use the available metal shims and/or make sure your plastic plates are new(ish). This helps ensure a good cut.

Also, if you visit a store and what you want is out of stock, be sure and ask to be notified by email when the item is back in stock. It’s usually quite quick and always worth the wait. 😉
Thanks for watching!
Remember, if mailing a card with layers and embellishments in the United States, be sure and buy “non-machinable” postage so your cards don’t get smooshed in the USPS postal machines.
If you try this technique, be sure and share your artwork with us on the @ladymichellecreates Facebook page.
Thanks for spending time with me!
Blessings & Hugs,
