Morning. Now I have to say that pink is not a colour I usually go to, but in honor of the last day of Breast Cancer Month, I decided to play along with this challenge at Splitcoast.
I created the background by applying a layer of Gesso randomly over a piece of drywall tape. When dry, I rubbed Distress inks over the Gesso bkg. Then once again, I adhered my snowflake die to my acrylic block, sprayed with water and used it to stamp my background. I love how it creates an icy, ghosting appearance. I splattered some pink ink over my card front then stamped the sentiment.
The snowflake was done by dragging the die-cut through some Distress ink that I applied to my non-stick craft sheet and sprayed with water.
I am adding my card to these challenges:
Crafty Catz- ANYTHING GOES CHRISTMAS
