15 Days of Christmas Cards - Day 2

Good Morning! Thanks for coming back for the 2nd day of Christmas Cards. I don't know if I've ever shared that I love snowmen. (giggle) This card I made using a very interesting technique. I'm not quite sure where it originated from, but I saw a card using this technique, so I had to try it myself.


I used an image that I got from Cuddly Buddly and I used Inkadinkadoo called Snowflakes A Plenty. I stamped the snowflakes on the smooth side of a clear transparency (inkjet) with black Staz-On ink and let it dry. Then on the reverse side (rough) I sponged white pigment ink, then sponged two dye-ink colors and then went back over that with white pigment ink. I quickly covered the wet pigment ink with clear embossing powder and heated. I backed the image with a piece of white card stock and then used brads to ensure the acetate stayed put. Then decorated the front.

It was a fun technique and I think it has a lot of possibilities.

Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to another visit.
