Recessed Snowflake Card

This card I am using one snowflake die, which I particularly like for its detail, but just use whatever you have. 

I cut out a snowflake in gold foil card.  I then stuck some craft foam to a card panel I had cut out with a rectangle die, and cut the die out again, slightly in from the edge, popped out the die cut to use on another project.  I then flipped over my front panel, and slotted the gold die cut upside down into the negative space, and put liquid glue over both negative and die cut.  I then flipped front panel over and placed that on my card base, centering it nicely.  I then used a pokie tool to push the gold die cut down in to the recessed portion of the negative space of the die cut front panel, so that it was glued down onto my card base.  This method seemed to work really well! 

Finally I stamped a sentiment onto a scrap piece of card and put that onto the front card panel just below and over from the snowflake.

That is the card finished.  I wanted it to stay clean and simple.  

You could do this with any snowflake dies, or even some other Christmas dies if you wished.  The possibilities are endless

I have a video of making the card.
