Snowy Sayings                          Funky Flakes

 

Now, onto my card.  I admit it, I am totally hooked on blending those snowy hills.  I've made a few cards using this technique this year because it's so fun!  I just cut a piece of cardstock into a curve to use as a mask.  I start with the bottom hill by blending lightly along the mask with Tumbled Glass Distress ink.  I moved the stencil up to form two more hills by blending.  For the top hill I continued to blend  Tumbled glass all around the top edges.  Then I darkened just the edges a little by blending Salty Ocean Distress Ink over the top of the Tumbled Glass.  It makes the perfect cold winter backdrop to add my sparkly snowflakes to.

Stamps: Snowy Sayings (CAS-ual Fridays).  Ink: salty ocean, tumbled glass (Ranger Distress), clear emboss (Versamark), white pigment (WPlus9), onyx black (Versafine).   Paper: silver sparkle (My Favorite Things), white 140 lb cardstock (Neenah).  Accessories: Funky Flakes Fri-Dies (CAS-ual Fridays), clear sparkle embossing powder (WOW!), clear sequins, fun foam.

First I stamped and embossed a variety of snowflakes from the Snowy Sayings stamp set using white pigment ink and clear sparkle embossing powder.  To add some dimension I added some coordinating diecut snowflakes from the Funky Flakes Fri-dies set.  These flakes have such wonderful detail and they cut through thick cardstock like butter!

I hope you'll play along with us for your chance to win!

All you have to do is make your own card filled with Glitter & Snowflakes, then link it up over on the
