Happy Saturday!
Time to play.
Trying to get caught up with creating some Christmas card.
I began by creating my background using the Splash Watercolour Technique and my Distress Oxide inks. It is really easy and quick to create a bkg using this method of inking.
When that was dry, I stamped the large snowflake from a Stampin Up set (sorry I don't know the name) and then the smaller snowflakes with Versamark and heat embossed them using white eb powder.
To add additional interest and depth to the simple bkg., I stenciled using some drywall tape.
Using my Misti, I stamped this great sentiment from Technique Tuesday with black ink to help make it pop. Lastly, I added the blue gem stone to the center of the snowflake.
That's it, another card ready for the holidays.
Hope you have a great weekend and thanks for the visit.
