I had a lot of fun making this card. I used a 6" x 6" piece of designer paper called Feels Like Frost from the upcoming Stampin' Up! winter catalogue. It's a stack of papers of the same size which feature on one side stunning prints of frosted scene photographs and on the other white with hand drawn silver designs.
I took just one sheet, after all it does plenty, and stamped 2nd and 3rd generation ink over it using the Birch background stamp and also stamps from the beautiful Very Versailles stamp set in shades similar to those in the paper. I then cut 9 11/4" squares and white and copper embossed different images on to the squares. You could also do this prior to cutting the squares.
I stuck the squares onto a piece of thick whisper white card that was 43/4 inches square. I've done the sticking by eye and so it's not quite perfect, but if you are a neat freak then you could measure and get it spot on. I added another whisper white layer that was 5" square adhering my art piece on with Stampin' Dimensionals. The whole piece was then stuck to base card that is A5 in folded size. I added a sentiment from Itty Bitty Greetings which is heat embossed in copper.
The final touch was to add a handful of self adhesive sequins.
There is lots of inspiration on Pinterest for this type of card and it packs a wow without too much effort or skill required. Have a go and see what you can make. There are endless possibilities as you can reduce the number of squares, change the sizes whatever you choose really.
All the products I used are Stampin' Up! of course and can be bought in my online shop. The papers will be available to order from 4th September when the Stampin' Up! Winter catalogue goes live.
