Snowflake Doubles...

Wow, the holidays are certainly flying in too soon for me!  I'm certainly in the land of the lost when I'm not near my family during the festivities so to speak.  The weather is very frigid and unwaivering in these blizzard type conditions we are experiencing, which is abnormal for us during this time of the year.  Armed with a lack of posting, morning mocha and a desire to create my way out of the blues...I went on a hunt for some inspiration.  I never really have to look that far when I click over to my FABULOUSLY ARTSY Friend Tresa Black's blog.  It just so happens that I'm always looking for different ways to create interactive cards and there it was...her latest Ustream class on a Double Slider.  This creation is a replica of what I learned on her Ustream class...with the exception of the stamp set and multi layers.  I only made one of the sliders as I had a difficult time playing with the measurements.  I did however, create two more cards from the base of the chocolate cardstock and made a lovely one as a gift.  As always Thank you so much Tresa for pulling me out of the creative blah's that I tend to drown in during the holiday season.  How fitting that today was the day we had first downpour of snowflakes that actually stick to the ground. 

1. The snowflake embossed using liquid glass and prisma glitter.  So cute!

The three different placements of the liquid glass and the open part of the card is what is inside of the two I actually created without doing the slider part.

This is a closed card...I really loved the ease of using the water-brush to roll my paper edges and my embossing dryer to dry it in an instant.  Who would of thought to use these simple techniques.
