I began my card by cutting an A2 (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") panel of Bristol Smooth paper. I used washi tape to tape off an area @ 1 5/8" x 5 1/2". I used the beautiful snowflakes from Pink & Main's Flurries stamp set. I ran my anti-static tool over the area, then used VersaMark Ink to stamp the snowflakes. I used WOW Bright White Superfine Embossing Powder to heat emboss the snowflakes. Next, I sponged Peacock Feathers and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Inks over the snowflakes. I spattered some water drops over the inks and then dried them using a paper towel. I also used the towel to wipe off any ink from the snowflakes. I stamped the sentiment using the Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Ink and finished my card by added a few clear sequins. This was a very quick and easy card. If you have a MISTI you can place all of the snowflake stamps on the tool and stamp them all at one time, and the distress oxide inks blend so easily on the Bristol paper.
