Snowy Christmas Greetings

Good Morning

It is cold and frosty here in Ontario and my card reflects this season of icy cold.

I'm not a huge fan of winter but I must say I love making snowflake cards.  Go figure!?

So onto my card.

I began with creating my background.  I wanted to get a good colour blend so I made my own stamp pad.  I did that by pressing my Peacock Feather, Salty Ocean and Faded Jeans DOX inks directly onto my non-stick craft mat, sprayed with water and then dabbed my stamp into the wet ink, moving it around to get good coverage.  I stamped onto my paper then went back in and filled in with some more snowflakes.

To add to the snowy feel, I splattered white acrylic paint all over the top of the inked panel.

While that dried, I stamped the large snowflake onto white cardstock using the same inks and technique as above.  I think this individual snowflake is from an older Hero Arts set? 

I cut it down and mounted it onto white, then I added a shiny Nuvo drop to the center of the snowflake.

I placed the large background into my Misti and stamped the sentiment from Technique Tues. then pop dotted the big snowflake over that.  Simple mounted the whole piece onto a white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
