Snowflake Thanks- CAS Watercolour Challenge

Hello and Welcome.

Time for another challenge at the 

CAS Watercolour Challenge.

This month our theme is 

THANK-YOU

This is a good time to create some Thank-You cards to send out after the holidays.

Be sure and stop by our blog to see the wonderful cards created by our talented DT and our special guest

 Michele from I Card Everyone.

I had the great pleasure of meeting Michele IRL last April at Scrapfest in Kitchener.  She is super talented, friendly and has the warmest, welcoming smile.  

So this is how I created my card.

I began my card by making my own stamping pad.  I have been playing around with this fun and easy technique and love the results it gives.  I rubbed 3 different Distress Oxide inks onto my non-stick craft mat, sprayed with water and ran my snowflake stamp through the wet ink and stamped it onto the middle of my card front.  I love the watery, snowy look I was left with.

When that was dry, I placed the piece inside my Misti and stamped the thanks.

Next, to help give the snowflake more presence, I scored a border all around the edges of it using my ScorPal.  

I mounted it onto a white card base, keeping it very simple and clean.

The finishing touch was to add the gem/pearl to the center of the snowflake.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

I hope you will come and play along with us.
