Majestic Snowflakes

Happy World Cardmaking Day!!
So happy I had a chance to play today.
So meet today's card.

I began with a piece of Yupo paper and applied some Ranger Alcohol inks with some blending solution.  The Yupo paper is a synthetic paper that doesn't allow the inks to soak in...I love it's unique properties and how the inks can be manipulated.  I did use a straw and some blending solution to help move the ink on my paper even more.
When I was happy with the coverage, I set it aside to dry.
When dry, I placed the piece inside my Misti and stamped the snowflakes from the Penny Black set called Snowflake Sentiments with Versamark ink.  I carefully!! heat embossed them with silver embossing powder.
** Be careful when heat embossing onto Yupo, your paper can warp very easily if too much heat is applied.**
To help fill in some of the open areas, I dragged my mini Versamark pad down the front and heat embossed some more silver to add interest.  I mounted the piece over white cardstock that I had embossed with the Snowflake Speckles eb folder.
I die-cut the Let It Snow sentiment and glued it on last.


Hope you get a chance to play today and thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

  13. GORGEOUS!! Such a WOW! card with those amazing colours in the background paired with the silver embossing. Good job with that ... I have had it work for me, but also ended up with some melted yupo pieces. :) The silver snowflakes are beautiful ... and love how you've added more silver using the edge of your pad. Very clever and creative ... that's YOU, my friend! xx
