Hi everyone, today I’d like to show you the first card I have made with another stamp set and stencil from my recent Visible Image win - “Let It Snow” and “Frosty”.
I created a smooshed background with 2 colours of Distress Oxide ink, then stamped the centre snowflake and heat embossed in white. I then stencilled around the edges using blue DOX and added some dark blue stamped snowflakes. I added some Posca snow spatter and let it dry before matting onto a dark blue and then lilac border and onto a 6” card blank, then finally I stamped and heat embossed my word onto dark blue card stock, cut out and attached.
Stamps: Visible Image Let It Snow;
Media: Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks (Blueprint Sketch, Wilted Violet); Versafine Clair (Medieval Blue); Versamark; detail white embossing powder; Posca pen (white);
Tools: Visible Image stencil - Frosty.

Take care, and thanks for visiting.

Another gorgeous card, Pauline. That centre snowflake is wonderful, and I particularly love the subtle use of Wilted Violet in the 'smooshed' background.
Thank you for your kind words about my beloved Cookie, and also your other comments for my previous posts. (I counted 4 comments in total, and there are definitely none in my spam folder, so if you have posted other comments, I can't imagine where they ate hiding...the internet can do some weird things at times.)
I agree Pauline, it seems such a long time since we used to chat regularly. I will always be grateful for all your assistance when I was a newbie to entering challenges. xx
