Hello friends and welcome!

snow in some form on your projects!
Here's what I came up with:

I bought this gorgeous snowflake tree stamp at least a year ago, and
I'm only inking it up now. (For Shame!)
I first stamped and heat embossed it in white EP. Then I sprinkled
Magenta Nuance powder dyes in Cerulean Blue and Purple and
used a water mister on it. The hardest part is setting it aside to dry
on it's own. Once it was, I stamped the sentiment and heat embossed
it in white also. To ground the tree, I simply drew some 'land' with a white Gelly Roll pen.
Since I had the items out, I made another panel!
This one uses Violet and Raspberry powder inks:

I hope that you can find time to play along this fortnight in our
snow challenge at Shopping Our Stash!

What STUNNING cards, so happy you inked it up (bet itis too) the backgrounds are just phenomenal. LOVE them.
ReplyDeleteWhat brilliant color combos for your stunning backgrounds, Chris! That tree is wow-amazing and it just comes alive in white against the colors. I love how you complete your insides, too! I recently played with my powdered inks again and I had forgotten how amazing and fun they are! (I even left them out to play some more which almost never happens!) Thank you for sharing with everyone at NBUS! Take care and keep well! Hugs, Darnell
