Warm Winter Wishes

Welcome

So glad to be posting another holiday card.  

I am back to work and so super busy that I have had no time to stamp. I have been keeping all the little daycare hands busy crafting and creating for Halloween which has been so super fun.

So here are the details on how I created my card.

• I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock.  Whenever I am using my Gel Plate, I keep a stack of paper nearby to brayer off the excess paint.  This panel was one of those roll-offs.  I just used some acrylic paint from The Dollar Tree.
• The panel looked a bit dark, so I used an old credit card and scrapped a bit of white acrylic paint over it to help break up the colour a bit.  This is always a good tip if you have made your background too dark.
• Next, I placed the panel into my Misti and stamped the large snowflake from Colorado Stamp with some Versamark ink.  By using my Misti, I was able to stamp twice and get a good impression.  I poured on some white Wow embossing powder and heat set.
• I placed the panel back into my Misti and stamped the sentiment from the same set with some Versafine Clair Noir.  I clear embossed that as well so it would show up better over the painted background
• Using my white Posca pen, I splattered with white to mimic the look of snow.
• I simply mounted the panel onto another piece of white cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.

 Hope you are having fun creating some holiday cards.  With so little time, I am glad to have some backgrounds made that I can pull out from my stash.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
