Hello and Welcome
I need an intervention....put down that snowflake stamp!!!
I love it because it's big, easy to use to fill a card front and I love the look of it.
I told myself, 'embrace the things that make you happy'. This snowflake and bubbles...yes please!
So here's what I did to create my card.
- I decided to make a bunch of 'bubble' backgrounds. I did this one using some Blueprint Sketch and some Peacock Feathers Distress re-inkers. Simple put some water in a cup, add some dish soap then drop in some ink. Mix well then blow some bubbles with a straw and catch them onto the paper. So fun. *when I bubble paint, I add one colour of re-inkers to my soap mixture, then instead of dumping that out after a few backgrounds are made, I just continue to add different colours to the same mixture to create different bkg.*
- When the background was totally dry, I placed the panel into my Misti, inked up the snowflake with some Versamark ink and pressed it onto my panel. I added some white embossing powder and heat set it.
- I left the piece in my Misti and stamped the sentiment with some black Versafine Clair and clear heat embossed that to help it pop against the background.
- I took my white Posca pen and added splatters all over the panel to give it a really snowy look.
- I mounted the panel onto a heavy white card base and added a black gem to the center of my snowflake.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
