Good Morning
Time for a fun card using some stamps from MFT and this great stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.
I began by placing the Interlocking Squares stencil over my heavy white cardstock then sponged on some Gina K Amalgam ink over it with a blending brush. I wanted the background to have a faint designs so the snowflakes could be the star of the show and that ink worked great for this.
Next, I placed the piece into my Misti and stamped the sentiment using some black Versafine Clair ink. Leaving the piece in my Misti, I randomly stamped the snowflakes around the sentiment.
I added some dark blue Nuvo drops to the center of my snowflakes. I mounted the piece onto some white cardstock then onto a piece of kraft to help pick up the colour of the background.
Here is the stencil I used:
