My list of people that I send cards to is out of control!! When my
husband and I were celebrating our first Christmas together I couldn't
wait to send cards to everyone - and I do mean everyone!! As the years
have gone by my list has gotten shorter but it is still out of control
at over 100 people (107 to be exact) and I only send cards to close
friends and family. Just the stamps alone are over $40 and the supplies
. . . we won't go there. So,
when I was filling out my cards I found that I was about 15 cards short
so I came up with this simple card and it is probably my favorite this
year.
The Snowflakes are embossed with Winter White EP on Glossy White paper.
I used Brilliant Blue ink with the polished stone technique** to create
the background. The base card is Bashful Blue and the 2nd layer is
Brilliant Blue. It's very pretty IRL.
** To do the polished stone technique you wet a cotton ball with
rubbing alcohol and then using the reinkers place a few drops of ink on
it also. Then you just dab around the paper (you must used the glossy
paper for this technique) until you are happy with it. Here's a full
tutorial by Beate on SCS => Polished Stone Tutorial <=.
Have a wonderful day!
