Snowdrop Note

↓ Visual product list

If this card looks familiar, you’d be right. The snowdrop panel is from December, when I took my new BetterPress for its first outing. I used it with white pigment ink on green cardstock. The snowdrop press plate is part of the Florals Through the Year Bundle with a flower silhouette for each month. I also have the November plates with an elegant chrysanthemum.

For this card, I cut the snowdrop panel with one of the rectangle dies from the Spellbinders Cross Stitch Nested Card Front Die Set.

The background is new, though. I used the February 2025 Embossing Folder of the Month, called Wicker Basket. First I ink blended with a darker green dye ink to create a vignette. Then I embossed the panel at a slight angle. With a geometric design you can either take great care to center the panel, so the pattern is symmetrical. Or you can go feral and emboss at an angle. 😂

The sentiment is from the January 2025 BetterPress of the Month, Take Flight. I BetterPressed it into pearlized white vellum with white pigment ink. In hindsight I think green ink would have been easier to make out.

I finished off the card with some Spellbinders Opal Color Essentials Gems around the sentiment.
