Snow for Christmas

 

Hello and Welcome

Meet today's card.

Some simple inking with my Distress Oxide inks, stamping and embossing.

And of course, some water lifting which is such a fabulous way to add interest.

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

• I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock, then using a Ranger inking tool, I rubbed some Faded Jeans, Salty Ocean and Wilted Violet, covering the whole panel.
• Using a stamp from the Tim Holtz Faded Text set, I stamped around the panel using water to left some of the colour, then redeposited it in other places.  The Oxide inks are so great for doing this as they are water reactive.
• I made sure the panel was totally dry, then rubbed it with an Anti-static bag.  I placed the panel into my Misti and stamped the Hand Drawn Snowflakes from Hero Arts with some Versamark ink.  I white heat embossed the flakes.
• I splattered the whole panel with my white Posca pen.
• Next, using a scrap of white cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Merry Flowers set by Avery Elle with Versamark Clair.
• I glued the inked panel onto a heavy white card base and pop dotted the sentiment over that. 
• To finish it off, I added some clear gems to the snowflake centers.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
