Description
Welcome to the Winter Diorama Class!In this class we will be creating a layered Winter Scene using a variety of Dies as well as a Die Cutting Machine. We will be using Oxide inks to create a blended background for the Sky. We will also be adding some mica powders to the sky to create a subtle Northern Lights Effect.As if that's not enough, We will also add Stars to the sky. You will have a choice of Stamping/Stenciling the stars and then Heat Embossing them, or, you can choose to die cut the stars in the sky and then add gold vellum and fairy lights behind that sky panel to create stars that light up.We Will then die cut and assemble all the Scenery pieces as well as the Snowman so they are all pre-done for when we are ready to assemble our diorama.This class includes a supply list that lists all the supplies used in the demo. Those items are linked to where you can purchase them to save you time sourcing your supplies. You can find that Supply List HERE.Of course you can substitute the Dies I am using for others of your own choice!I will be Using a Big Shot to die cut my pieces, but you can definitely use another die cutting machine. You would also be able to use a cricut machine if you choose, you would just need to find or create the SVGs you will need.This class was so fun to create and see it come together, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it!
