I always enjoy those moments when I step out of my comfort zone and do something I don't partake in often. It's always a great reminder that you never know what unique creations you can come up with when you try something new.
I tend to have several items in my stash that I don't use enough - stamps, mixed media supplies, and stencils. I seem to have no trouble collecting (and loving!) these items, but rarely reach for them while creating. I think I need to make 2025 the year of using these things! This layout can be the kickoff to a year of exploring new things.
To create the design I first started with a snowflake stencil from Echo Park and used some blue ink to stencil the design onto my base cardstock.
Then I added a large snowflake that I cut on my Silhouette. I loved the idea of white on white for the snowflake, but feared that it might not stand out enough so that's where the stenciled background saved the day.
To help the snowflake stand out even more I added some hand-stitching on it for some texture and dimension.
Then I just went to town with some snowflake stickers, adding them all around the large snowflake.
This was such a fun layout to create and I'm going to make it my mission to use stencils more this year!
