Here's my card:
I started by splattering masking fluid with a toothbrush onto watercolour paper. Then I stamped and heat embossed the tree line in white. I thoroughly wet the piece and dropped in various blue Distress inks, helping them move into the little spaces between the trees with a wet paintbrush. When dry, I rubbed off the masking fluid, revealing the snowstorm.
A simple heat embossed sentiment stamped on a scrap of cs and die cut with a label die (because when I originally stamped it directly onto the card base, I stamped it crooked). And a bit of fun foam behind the panel for some dimension.
A very appropriate card for this past week in Vancouver - lots of snow and colder than normal temperatures!
Supplies:
Stamps - Tim Holtz tree line, Rubber Soul sentiment
Ink - ColorBox Colonial Blue and Frost White, various blue Distress inks
Paper - watercolour paper, white cs
Size - A2
Accessories - clear and white embossing powder, masking fluid, label die, fun foam
Beautiful Susan, love the effect of splattering the masking fluid. It gave you the perfect snow storm :)
