Uniko's Christmas *almost* in July - day 2 introductions

Good morning friends and welcome back to my blog. It's day two of introductions for Uniko's Christmas *almost* in July release. Our next introduction is a fantastic clear stamp set called 'Rustic Snowflake'. This is a beautiful stamp set and there are so many possibilities of how to use it.

Here is my card:

A closer look at the details:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by cutting a white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and using versamark ink stamped the snowflakes in each corner of the panel.  I used white embossing powder and heat set it until it was melted.  Once it had cooled I took a pink ink pad and lightly blended over the corners leaving some white space in the centre.  For a little more intesity I added some darker pink ink in the very corners and also added some spatter using the dark ink pad.  I found some card stock that matched my ink blending really well so decided to add a mat layer behind my panel so I cut down the white panel slightly and adhered them together using liquid glue.  I used a strip of the same card stock and stamped the sentiment, again using versamark, and heat set it with white embossing powder before adding it to the centre of the panel using liquid glue.  I finished off with some clear solid sequins.  The panel was then adhered to the card base using double sided tape.  For the inside I cut another white panel and dark pink mat layer and adhered them together with liquid glue.  When I was creating the front panel I messed up my first attempt as my paper moved slightly so I took the one corner that was perfect and cut it down into a triangular shape and added that over the white panel using liquid glue.  I stamped the sentiment using the lighter pink ink in the centre and then adhered it to my card base using double sided tape.
