Very Merry

Welcome

I love snowflake cards.  

No, I'm not a fan of the winter but I just like using them to create.

Maybe it's because I like to use lots of shades of blue while making them?

Anyways, I was really to happy to see that ACLD has come out with another great snowflake stencil.  

As soon as I got it, I was off to play.

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

• I pulled out my Gel Plate, brayer and 2 colours of Distress Oxide inks...Blueprint Sketch and Peacock Feathers.  I pressed the pads separately on each side of the plate and using my brayer, blended them together.
• Next, I press the Delicate Snowflakes stencil from ACLD carefully onto the plate, being sure to get good contact all over.
• I removed the stencil and firmly rubbed a piece of cardstock over the plate to lift the print.
• While that dried, I stamped the Merry Shadow Stamp using more of the Blueprint Sketch ink onto some white cardstock and die cut it out.
• I stamped the sentiment strip onto a piece of navy cardstock with some Versamark and white heat set it.
• I glued the inked panel onto a white card base, then added the sentiment and pop dotted the sentiment strip.  
• Finally, I splattered with my white Posca pen.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Here is the stencil I used:
