Indescribable Gift

Here is a card I made for a demo friend for her birthday which is today.  I used the Indescribable Gift set from the 2015 Occasions catalog.  I stamped it with Versamark on Whisper White cardstock and then used Whisper White Embossing Powder on it.  Then I used my Aqua Painters and Strawberry Slush and Garden Green ink.

This is the other card that my customers made at the "Christmas in July" workshop which they thought would be difficult, but it wasn't at all and they really liked the effect.  The original technique was from Sandi MacIver

5.    On the other piece, use the Circle Framelit Collections to cut a circle in the center using the 6^th circle frame from center and the Big Shot.  Lay it on top of the stamped image so you can see it through the hole and use post it notes to hold them in place.

6.    Take a sponge and ink it up with Pool Party ink and start in a circular motion on the outside of the circle and gradually sponge over the snowflakes until the appear.

7.    Do the same with Bermuda Bay but only on the outside edges of the circle and not toward the center of the snowflakes, but do use use it on the biggest snowflake.

8.    Now, take the Silicone Craft Sheet and spray 3 sprays of Shimmer Smooch and 3 sprays of water and mix it together with the paintbrush.  Then flick it onto your design to make it look as though it is snowing or maybe it is stars in the night.  You may to heat set with Heat Tool.

9.    Now take the little snowflake and ink it with Burmuda Bay and stamp in any bare spots you want.

10.  Remove the mask and put your stamped image on layer of Bermuda Bay cardstock.
