Delicate Pines
I have been waiting to share this card until we had some snow, but I didn't need this much snow. This is a fun technique that I call "Magic Snowflake."

I started with a card base of Secret Sea and added a layer of Basic White. I then took a spiece of glossy photo paper (or you can use the Glossy Paper Stampin' Up! used to sell.) I stamped the snowflake with Versamark and embossed it with Basic White Embossing Powder. I took a cotton ball and filled it with rubbing alcohol and then dropped different shades of blue reinkers into it. I used Secret Sea and Balmy Blue reinkers and then I dabbed it onto the glossy cardstock. I made sure the whole piece had some blue on it. I then took my heat tool and went over the Glossy Cardstock. The ink dried and disappeared where ever the snowflake was. This was one of the first techniques I learned over 20 years ago and hadn't used it since. I decided it was time to resurrcect it! What do you think?
I have a feeling today is going to be a stay at home day. Johan is with us until tomorrow if we can get to Grinnell tomorrow after noon. He is happily watching TV and I am going to start stamping when I am done with this.
Every day is a gift . . . make the most of the gift you have been given today!!
Happy Stamping!!
