Prismatic Snowflakes

Happy Saturday Crafty Friends!  I have a quick share for you today, featuring some heat embossing and ink blending.


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!

Christmas Joy

 Hello and Happy Wednesday, the week is half spent and the weekend is in sight!  I've started Holiday crafting and wanted to quickly share my 1st Christmas Card for 2020.  I used the Simon Says Stamp Prismatic Snowflakes Stamp Set, Heat Embossing and Die Cuts to create my card.


I created my own background of snowflakes; heat embossing them with blue embossing powder.  I stamped a snowflake as a focal image and heat embossed it with white powder.  I inked the background of the fancy circle with Distress Oxide Inks in various shades of blues, used Alphabet dies to cut the work Joy which I covered in Glossy Accents.  Lastly, added ribbon and a bow to complete the card.

Christmas is my favorite crafty time of year and my favorite holiday of all.  Have you started your Holiday card making yet?  I always try to get a head start but usually fall behind sometime around our Thanksgiving holiday.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
