Snow Background Sheet
Great background for your crafting projects
Photographs from the Community
I printed this sheet, together with sheet cup373003_1030, out onto 300gsm Super Smooth white cardstock. I trimmed, scored and folded the background to make my base card. I also cut out the layers of the dog image as well. I took a sheet of silver, holographic, mirror paper (the different colours in the photo are down to the reflective quality of the paper and how it picks up a multitude of colours from its surroundings) and put this through my machine, half within a snowflake background embossing folder and some snowflake dies placed on the other half. I trimmed the embossed background and matted this, and the base image, onto some blue cardstock, trimming to leave an even border. I attached the matted background directly to the card front and used 2mm deep, double sided, foam tape to attach the matted dog image. I used the same tape to build up the image layers. I then attached the die-cut snowflakes around the front.
Although I haven't attached the greeting yet, because I don't know what language the greeting needs to be in, I've made this card as a winter birthday card for a dog lover. Sometimes, in the big push to make Christmas cards throughout the autumn and early winter in the UK we forget that cards are still needed for those who have birthdays in this period as well. Plus, of course, in some areas of the world winter and snow isn't at Christmas time at all. Having said that, this background would look great with a snowman or some penguins on for Christmas as well.
