Nope I cut out the snowflakes with an x-acto knife

1-Printed out snowflake in the two sizes (little over 1 inch and a little under 2 inches)
2-folded up two half sheets of paper into 4th's
3-used non permanent sticky stuff to adhere the printed ones to the tops of the folded half sheets
4-Very carefully cut along the lines through all 5 sheets of paper.
So each flake cut out yields 5 flakes (although the top one I didn't use because the printer toner made it stand out even when flipped over)

This is really beautiful,ingenious idea to use the tracing paper and flakes in layers...adds a wonderful translucent frozen feeling..
And you cut these yourself,you must have a lot of patience or very tiny hands..lol..
Wonderful Christmas card ,good luck in the contest

No fingers were cut nor blood spilled in the creation of these snowflake's
Ahh the big ones are no fun. You just fold up a sheet and snip snip. The small ones you have to cut cut cut cut cut ....well you get the picture. Infinitely more fun

Actually I wanted to go snip snip but couldn't get them to come out right and I didn't really like the fold lines showing so had to go cut cut cut cut cut
