Snowflake

Hello crafty friends, I have a quick and easy design to share today for Merry Monday.

I started the card with a panel of designer paper and layered that with black cardstock. I added some twine, then added the sentiment panel that is also layered with black cardstock.

I finished the card with some gems.

Supplies: White and black cardstock, Designer Paper-Photoplay, twine, gems.

Did you know: During the eruption of Vesuvius, the brain of a man in Herculaneum was heated and cooled so rapidly that it turned into glass, an extraordinary preservation method unknown before recent studies.

Happy crafting,
