To start the panel, I've ink blended Prize Ribbon and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Inks and let thoroughy dry. The Simon Says Stamp Stemptember Set "Prismatic Snowflakes" and sentiment have been heat embossed with White Sparkle embossing power, also by Simon Says Stamp. The sentiment is from the Memory Box "Yuletide Moments" Sentiment Set.
Before mounting the panel on Silver Mirror card, I splattered with white acrylic paint, for the snowy effect. I got a little heavy handed with some of the splatters, but I guess we can call that "artistic expression". TIP: before splattering with white paint or ink, make certain the blended panel is completely dry, otherwise the white splatters will take on the color underneath.
Lastly, I popped the matted panel on craft foam, adhered to the card base and spritzed the card with Shimmer Spray. You'll have to trust me when I say, between the White Sparkle Embossing Power and the Shimmer Spray, this card has the WOW factor...very sparkly, wintery, shimmery and festive.
That's all I have for today. I wish you a great weekend and until next time, Happy Crafting!

Wow, so pretty and I'm sure it is quite an eyecatcher! I've never ink-blended first before stamping and embossing because I use that bean-bag powder over my stamping surface before stamping. So this is a new one to me. You got fab results! XOX
