Christmas Flurries

 Welcome

Meet today's card filled with snowflakes and fun.

I just played around with a few techniques and inks.  I was so happy with the results.

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

• As usual, I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock and my Distress Oxide ink (Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean, Wilted Violet and Seedless Preserves)
• Using an inking tool, I rubbed the ink over the card panel, blending the colours together.
• Next, I used a script stamp from Hero Arts, sprayed with water and pressed onto the panel.  Since the inks are water based, the water on the stamp lifted off some of the colour.  I repeated that process without adding more water, randomly depositing ink over the panel.  It gives a great 'ghosting' effect.
• Using a circle stencil from AALL and Create, I randomly placed the stencil onto the panel and pressed over with a baby wipe to remove the colour.  It just added a bit more interest.
• I splattered the panel with more water which lifted more of the ink.  
• I made sure to completely dry the panel before I moved onto the next steps.
• I rubbed the panel with my Anti-static bag, then stamped the snowflakes from the MFT set called Snowflake Flurry with some Versamark ink, then white heat embossed them.
• Next, using more snowflakes from that set, I stamped onto the background using the colours listed above.  Of course, I splattered with my white Posca pen to add a snowy effect.
• I stamped the sentiment from Studio G and then cut it into a banner.  I pop dotted that to the side of the panel.
• I glued the inked panel onto some purple that matched the background, then onto a heavy white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
