But thank goodness the weather is not frightful yet. I've just been getting a head start on my Christmas cards this month. Using my favorite color blue and an awesome new stamp set from the soon to be released Stamp of Approval Box: Holiday Magic by Catherine Pooler I made this cool blue beauty. It makes my teeth chatter just looking at it. LOL!
I tried to keep this card clean and simple. The background turned out just beautiful and I really didn't want to distract attention away from those gorgeous embossed snowflakes. I stamped them with Versamark ink and embossed them in white. Then I inked over the snowflakes with distress ink. I achieved a nice glow by inking it a little darker in the center of each snow flake and then blending it out to a light haze. A little bit of silver sparkle card stock was the perfect touch of "ice" this card needed.
For this card I used the following supplies:
Stamps:
Bring on the Snowflakes (Stamp of Approval Box/Cas-ual Fridays)
Holiday Lyrics (The Ton)
Dies:
Funky Flakes (Stamp of Approval Box/Cas-ual Fridays)
Textile Rectangle Frame (My Favorite Things)
