I love watching different channels on Youtube. Sometimes the ideas on the videos inspire me to create a card. This card was inspired by a card by Brandy Cox, an American demo whose cards are amazing, but quick and simple. I loved the simple circle aperture and I also the layering of the circles.
I have teamed a number of items together to create a card which uses simple techniques, blending brushes, punches, created backgrounds, stamping and heat embossing. The snowy background is the one from a previous video using white craft ink and water to ‘flick’ snow, it is super messy but my favourite.
The video below shows how I made the card. Although the circle punches are retired, you could use any that you have, you can also use dies. My slight boo boo with dies was due to using tape which was too sticky.
Measurements:

Metric
10.5 cm x 14.8 cm (10.5 by full length scored at 14.8cm)

You could of course use any stars that you may have and use an embossing powder to match. I think it would look fabulous in gold. Gold or Copper which is better?
