I embossed Coredinations cardstock with a Tim Holtz Snowflake embossing folder, applying Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink directly from the pad to the embossed snowflakes. I colored Mrs. Frosty with Spectrum Noir Markers, adding a bit of black Wink of Stella to her eyes, mouth and buttons. Her body has a coating of clear Wink of Stella. I cut her out with a Scalloped Oval Nesties, dusting it with blue chalk before removing it from the die. The sentiment is a Cricut cut, also coated with clear WOS.
I'm entering these challenges:
Simon Says Monday Challenge - Anything Goes; Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Winter Inspiration; Brown Sugar Challenge #125 - Christmas; Stamplorations December Challenge - Stamps and my favorite Technique (October Challenge - Embossing); and CASology #126 - Snow.
Again, I kept it all flat for ease of mailing. I love the texture of the embossing and the look of the distress ink. Happy Crafting, my friends!!
Your embossed snowflakes are the perfect backdrop for Mr. Snowman, Sheila! Thanks for playing along with us at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge!
ReplyDeleteOh Sheila, when I first saw this beautiful card, I thought you'd ventured into embossing paste! How lovely you have done it with he Coordinations paper, embossing and then the ink over the raised surfaces. So very pretty & eye catching. Love your Mrs. Frosty and your coloring is just superb. Don't you just love those WoS? Merry Christmas, thank you for the prayers for DH, TFS & Big hugs. I heard that there were snow flurries in Cary, NC. I hope they don't get down to SC or GA either!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I love the embossed snowflakes. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays from the team at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. We are so glad that you joined our Anything a Goes Challenge this week. Thanks for playing along. ~Michelle
