CCC 1: Snowflakes

Hello there! How are you? I do hope you are well! Its time for us at our Christmas card club to start the countdown for next Christmas! Wow - hard to believe! But I am so glad that I do this year around - it really does help when it comes to writing those cards!

I decided to use quite a lot of ranger and TH goodies to make my cards - I started with yupo paper then added alcohol inks to create the main background before adding a little blending solution and leaving all this to dry well. Next I stamped using snowflakes and lift ink before rubbing off to leave a lovely ghosting of flakes.



 Finally I die cut large snowflakes and then embossed and finally added frantage....I made 4 in total so already have a good start for my new years cards!

Have a great day!

Rachel x

    Hi Rachel, sorry but owing to being unwell I'm a bit late getting here. Your card is super - love the background you've created. And I'm pleased to see I'm not the only one who used a bit of Frantage! xx
