Method

Cut the white cardstock to 7cm x 10.5cm and, using Onyx Black Versafine, stamp the largest circle at the bottom of this in the centre. Without re-inking, stamp the same circle onto scrap paper and cut out. Lay the paper circle over the one stamped on your white cardstock to act as a mask and then stamp the middle sized circle above the largest, overlapping slightly. Make a middle sized mask and put it in place over the body of your snowman and stamp the head and face in the same way. Remove the masks.

Using Onyx Black Versafine stamp the snowman’s scarf onto Turquoise cardstock, cut out and fix to snowman using 1mm  foam pads.

Using black Versafine stamp the snowman’s hat onto a small square of white cardstock allowing enough space to hold the piece whilst you heat it. Sprinkle with clear embossing powder, shake away the excess and heat with a heat gun. Before it cools sprinkle again with clear embossing powder and reheat. Repeat until you have a smooth, glossy finish. When cool, cut out and fix to snowman using 1mm foam pads.

Colour your snowman’s nose with an orange Gelly Glaze pen, and when dry matt your image onto Turquoise and black cardstock as shown.

Using Deep Lagoon Versafine stamp the Snowflake Swirl onto the gatefold card top and bottom holding the card firmly closed.

Fix the Snowman topper with 1mm foam pads to the left side of the card only.
