Good Morning
I hope you are well during these difficult times.
After Christmas I like to take some time to make thank-you cards and this is one I came up with.
I've really tried to think of the many ways I can use this snowflake stamp to create different looking card designs. This one was pretty simple to do.
So here's what I did to create my card.
- I began with a panel of heavy cardstock and got out the Marvelous Masks Circles from A Colorful Life Designs. This set has the stencils and the masks included. I placed the smallest stencil to the side of my card base and rubbed on some Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink using a blending brush.
- I covered the area I just inked with the circle mask and laid down the next size of circle and inked that with some Shaded Lilac DOX ink. I repeated that process using a bigger and bigger circle stencil and mask and applied more DOX inks; Cracked Pistachio and finally more Peacock Feathers.
- I dried the ink, then placed it into my Misti and stamped the snowflake from Colorado Craft using some Versafine Clair ink.
- Next, I stamped the sentiment from Your Next Stamp right down in the corner.
- To add interest to my card, I randomly stamped some text and then added some markings using an old gift card and more Versafine Clair ink.
- I splattered using my Posca pen, then added a black gem to the snowflake center. *it's amazing how much these little additions add to the interest of the card!*
- Lastly, I mounted it onto a piece of black cardstock, then onto some soft lilac then onto a heavy white card base.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
