Snowflake

Hi there my crafty friends!  Next up on the mini release is the Industrial Chic Snowflake.  I have gone quite clean and simple on this sample and I think it shows it off beautifully.  The snowflake has been designed with traditional arms but cogs have been added in between for that steam punk feel.  The die is in three pieces so you can cut the centre out or layer it up for a more detailed look if desired.  I think you could easily pass this one off with your regular snowflake dies if you decided to bring it into your more traditional card making or go totally grunge if you wanted to.  I love the versatility it brings.  Leave your comment if you would like a chance to win it.  The final post of the day is at 3pm today.  All for now, Sue x

    The world's first snow punk card! Or steam snow. Whatever you call it, it's beautiful!

    I'd like to vote for these dies being a welcome addition to the Christmas papercrafting community.

    Love the tone on tone with a touch of ? Mirri silver, and looked long and hard asking myself would I do this die justice and would I use it, so like the other steam punk dies, I'll admire your samples but will look at saving for one or two of your previous festive collections leaving these for lovers of grunge/steampunk xxx
