There is something so wonderful about snowflake stamps...they are perfect for holiday cards, winter cards, thank you cards and more! Simon Says Stamp has a new snowflake set that feels especially magical, Heartfelt Snowflakes!
My first two cards with the Heartfelt Snowflakes couldn't be more different...
For this card I masked some stripes with low-tack tape and ink blended with Distress Oxide inks (Faded Jeans, Salvaged Patina & Cracked Pistachio).After the blending was dry, I stamped the sentiment and snowflakes with Distress Oxide Black Soot because I think the oxide over oxide gives better results than my usual go-to black inks.
A few faux splatters done with black pens and it was done! It is really bold and I think I love it...but black snowflakes? LOL!
So next I went much more traditional...I stamped the snowflakes with clear embossing ink and embossed with white powder.
Then I blended Distress Oxides (Picked Raspberry, Shaded Lilac, Salvaged Patina & Twisted Citron) over the snowflakes. Then it was easy to wipe the excess ink off of the snowflakes. I love an emboss resist technique!
I added a little water splatter for texture. Then a sentiment from the Peaceful Trees set and more faux splatter.
What do you think? Which do you like better?
