Happy Holidays


Here is a technique we learned in card class last week. Thanks Laurie! You make a window in the paper you want to use. Place packing tape on the backside of the window. On the front side(the sticky side) sprinkle fine glitter and spread with your finger. Place your image behind to give it a frosty effect.

The round stamped image is from The Cutting Cafe. You can purchace the file here
