This was a nice and easy sketch for the Pals Paper Arts challenge! I need to get moving on Christmas cards so I made several variations of this today. I still have a long way to go!
I started out stamping the snowflakes with Versamark and Pool Party embossing powder. Then I did the sentiment in Versamark with white embossing powder. I sponged Pool Party around the sentiment and a few other areas. I then sponged with Island Indigo. That wasn't quite dark enough to make the snowflakes pop so I grabbed what I thought was Night of Navy. Well, I was putting it away and noticed it was a retired ink, Blue Bayou. Oooops! My fingers are very blue. I finished off with the Iced Rhinestone embellishments and a basic jewel. Please let me know what you think.
Wow! This is beautiful. I may try your sponging technique. I have Pool Party embossing party too! Perfect use of those iced rhinestones. (I hoard those).
ReplyDeleteThank you, my friend! No hoarding allowed. ;-) Use those rhinestones!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done, Michelle!
