One Layer Card - Let it Snow

What a lot of lovely greenness we saw last week!
Wonderful work ladies, but now we're back to that week which you all LOVE... the 
ONE LAYER CARD
This time our theme is 
Let it Snow!

Mandi
I'm not so sure you enjoyed going green last week! Maybe you will prefer the snow. Lots of you have it for real eh! Us Southerners are escaping it at the moment,


Photographing this was a nightmare! I ended up trying the mirror as the reflection seemed to show the gold embossed snowflake better than without it!
I do love snowflakes, they are so light and delicate, hence why I decided to use black lol
Supplies. Inkadinkdo stamps, stamped with Versafine Black Onyx, some are inked and stamped directly, then others are inked, stamped onto paper, then onto the card, for a lighter shade, adding dimension. I  glittered the black snowflakes with a zig glue pen, then added the obligatory gems and a swirl of liquid pearls. Maybe you can see better in the close up photo.
It really is so sparkly, but, you will have to take  my word for that!

Here is a card using one of my very favourite techniques... emboss resist.
I masked the image panel using Post It notes and stamped the Artemio snowflakes in Versamark which I embossed with Wow, semi-dull clear embossing powder. I used a stamp wheel which I think is a Rollagraph  for the blobs, which I embossed with Wow Sparkling Snow embossing powder.
I then sponged over the embossing using Bashful Blue and Night of Navy inks applied with sponge daubers.
The sentiment from Butterfly Kisses was stamped in Night of Navy with a little touch of Glamour Dust.
There's another card using a variation of this technique on my personal blog!







 For this card, I opted for a navy card base and stamped the various snowflakes  in a trail using Versamark and embossed using Sparkling Snow embossing powder. The three larger ones are Inkadinkado and the smaller ones,  Just Rite.
The sentiment is part of a MSE stamp which I masked with Sticky tape before inking as I only wished to use part of it, I then removed the tape before stamping.

    Te snow in North America is so much better than the snow in the UK - maybe that's why the cards are more inspired!
