Frosty Christmas

Welcome

I was able to get a great frosty look for today's card using the newly released Driven Snow stencil from A Colorful Life Designs and my Gel Plate.

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

• I began with a piece of white cardstock and got out my Gel Plate and brayer.
• I pressed my Broken China and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide pads directly onto my Gel Plate and brayered them out smooth, blending them together.
• I laid the Driven Snow stencil onto the plate, pressed a piece of scrap paper over the stencil to lift off some of the ink.  I removed the stencil and pressed my piece of cardstock onto the plate to take the print.  It looked so frosty with its unique design.
• I splattered the inked panel with my white Posca pen.
• While that dried, I die cut the snowflake from some white cardstock and cut out the sentiment.
• I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.
• I glued the snowflake onto the middle of the card front, adding glue just to the center so the edges of the snowflake could be popped up a bit.
• I used some foam tape to add the sentiment.

Here is the stencil I used:
