It's Snowing- Slimline

 Good Morning

I hope the start of your New Year is going well. 

Meet today's card.  

Just a fun one with lots of detail and of course, one of my favourite snowflake stamps ever. 

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

• I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock and spread some Gesso with a palette knife randomly over the panel.  (like you are buttering a piece of toast) I set that aside to dry completely.
• When dry, I rubbed some Peacock Feathers, Dusty Concord and a bit of Salty Ocean Distress Oxide inks directly onto my non-stick craft mat and sprayed with water to dilute it.  Using my brayer, I picked up the colour and brayered over the Gesso background.
• I then placed the inked piece into my Misti and stamped the Sweater Pattern Maker stamp from Picket Fence Studios using some Faded Jeans Archival ink. Love the look it gave.
• I dried the piece completely, then rubbed all over it with my Anti-static bag.  I stamped the snowflakes from Colorado Stamp with some Versamark ink, then white heat embossed them.
• Next, using my Posca white pen, I splattered to add to the snowy effect.
• I die cut the sentiment from STAMPlorations in white and glued it over the corner of my card panel. I added a white pearl to the center of the main snowflake.
• I mounted the piece onto some dark navy cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
