Snowy Afternoon

 

Welcome

Meet my today's snowflake card.

Lots of inks, smooshing and fun.

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

• I cut a piece of white cardstock for my card panel.  I rubbed some Broken China Distress Oxide ink onto my non-stick mat, sprayed with water and rubbed the panel into the wet ink.  I used the leftover ink on my mat to create the lines using the edge of a gift card dipped into the wet ink.
• After drying the panel, I stamped over it with the Snowy Afternoon background stamp using some Cracked Pistachio DOX ink.  The words added a lot of interest.
• I placed the dry panel into my Misti and positioned the large snowflake to one side.  I randomly pressed on some more Broken China DOX ink over the snowflake, sprayed with water and stamped.  I repeated that process using some Rustic Wilderness and Lucky Clover ink.
• Lastly, I stamped the sentiment in the left hand corner with some black Versafine Clair and clear heat embossed it.  I added the black gem to the center of the snowflake.
• I glued it onto a pale blue piece of cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

I hope you holiday preparations are going well.
