Frosty for Christmas

Welcome

Today's card is a frosty one which is too funny considering we have a heat warning.

Anyways, I am really pleased to be getting some holiday cards done. 

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I began by making the background.  I applied a coat of Gesso over my heavy white cardstock and let that dry.  
• When it was all dry, I added some Acrylic paint with my brayer and then some Distress inks to give a dark, frosty bkg.  
• Before stamping the snowflakes, I cut the panel to card size, leaving me with a piece I could later use for the sentiment.
• I placed the panel into my Misti and stamped the snowflakes from Tim Holtz.  They have a great distressed look to them.
• I stamped the scripts from the Faded Text set in some of the open areas to add interest.
• I splattered the panel with my white Posca Pen and set aside to dry.
• Using the small piece I cut from the panel, I stamped the sentiment, also from the snowflake set, with some Versamark and then white heat embossed it.  
• I backed the sentiment with a small piece of white, then pop dot mounted it over the frosty panel.
• I added it all to a heavy white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
