Instructions: Step 1 – Using “ink to surface” techniques, hold the Brilliance Starlite Silver inkpad in your hand and make streaks of ink on the 8 X 12 inch piece of green cardstock. Step 2 – Stamp the tree image using the Starlite Silver on the 3 X 10 inch piece of green cardstock. Step 3 – On the 3 X 11 inch piece of black cardstock, stamp the snowflake image, again using the Brilliance Starlite Silver. Take the Silver pad in your hand and edge all four sides of the square to finish it off. Step 4 – On both pieces of the vellum, take the Brilliance Orchid and Ice Blue and tint the paper by holding the pads in your hand and making small circular motions on the paper. Step 5 - Punch out four small snowflakes and color two of them with the Orchid pad, one with the Starlite Silver and the last one with the Ice Blue. Step 6 – On the small black circle, stamp or write your title using silver ink. Putting it all Together: Attach the 8 X 12 inch green piece of cardstock with the silver streaks to the 12 X 12 inch piece of black paper. Layering all three of the long narrow pieces of paper, make a triple mat starting with the green piece on top, the black piece in the middle and finally putting both of those on top of on the vellum piece. Attach them all with 4 silver mini brads and adhere it to the background piece. Do the same with the square pieces, using the 5 inch black piece, the 6 inch vellum and the 7 inch stamped black piece. Attach with the remaining 4 mini brads and adhere on top of the long narrow pieces. Insert photo on top of the inner black square. Attach one of the Orchid snowflake punches to the top left corner of the page and the remaining three to the bottom right. Attach your title circle to the bottom left.
