I love Heidi Swapp Ghost Shapes, and the snowflakes are so much fun to use this time of year. I got to thinking... what if I made my own? I had recently purchased a pack of write-on transparency sheets at Staples (I used one for my nutty project HERE). Well, I took my Cuttlebug and the 2" Asterisk die, and I cut "snowflakes" from one of the sheets. The sheets are thin, so it cut pretty easily. I did run it back and forth through the machine a few times to be sure it cut all the way through. There were still a couple stubborn spots, but I just went over them with my craft knife and they came out fine!
I added some Gemstones to the centers and attached them with Glue Dots. I also put a couple stones in the corner of the image panel. I took one more stone, colored it with a red Copic marker, and put it in the drink for a little cherry bling! The card background was stamped with SU! White Craft ink and heat embossed with Iridescent Ice EP. I colored the reindeer with Copics and added highlights with a Inkssentials opaque pen.
I had forgotten how much I love the images from this set, Reindeer Games. The reindeerettes are fun and flirty, and the sentiments are great, too! :)If you'd like to play in the acetate challenge, use keyword ATSDTC27 when uploading to a gallery.
