Hello friends.
There’s still time
to join in at CAS Christmas.
To make this card, I picked out several snowflakes from various stamp sets and arranged
them in my MISTI to stamp with silver ink on mixed media paper.
While the ink was still wet, I heat embossed them in silver.
Then I wet the background with clear water and dropped in color from
smooshing ink pads on my palette.
I love watching the color move with the water!
The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed on a strip of vellum
and tucked around the design image.
Then I popped the whole thing up with some fun foam.
some more wonderful
inspiration pieces for you.
Hope you'll join
in the fun at CAS Christmas.
Challenge ends on
the 24th.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

There is so much movement in that BG still going on, even dry. The snowflakes are also in harmony. Definitely fits the PEACE sentiment, wrapped around that convincing display of winter. We've got so much snow that this cards makes it even more beautiful. xx

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun variety of snowflakes, Bonnie! Your ink-dropped-on-wet-paper background definitely has an organic and peaceful feel to it and it's elegant and beautiful. The softness of the vellum strip goes so well with the background texture/pattern.

Fabulous flurry of flakes, Bonnie. They look lovely embossed in silver. Beautiful watercoloured background. Great use of the vellum to make your sentiment stand out. xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful snowflake Christmas card, Bonnie. I love your pretty watercolored background and vellum sentiment strip. Can you believe...we woke up to snow on the Oregon coast. It is so pretty coming down, but then cold and wet. A good day to stay in and make Christmas cards:-) Hugs..Nancy
ReplyDeleteBeautiful background for those lovely snowflakes. A perfect peaceful scene. TFS
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card--love the assorted snowflakes embossed in silver and the soft background with various colors.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful serene blue background for your glittery silver snowflakes! Love the vellum strip for the sentiment. It all makes me think of the peacefulness of a winter day when snowflakes drift down slowly.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful smooching, Bon-Bon! That sky with the falling silver snowflakes is stunning and I love the vellum peace sediment which allows the background to shine!! Hugs, Dolly
ReplyDeleteOh Bonnie how wonderful is your card - the way the colours have moved on the background is fascinating - love the outcome of dropping colour onto wet paper

The sentiment is perfect for this card because it is so peaceful. Soft background and lovely snowflakes. I'm happy to see snowflakes on cards rather than in my backyard now.
ReplyDeleteYour silver embossed snowflakes look lovely on your colored panel Bonnie! and the vellum strip for the sentiment ensures it doesn't block your lovely design!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Bonnie, loving your background and those snowflakes. Make for a peaceful scene! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteThe silver stars really shine against your wonderful watercolor background, Bonnie.
ReplyDeleteThose gorgeous blue hues make such a wonderful background for your delicious, delicate silver snowflakes, Bonnie ... what a magical look! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteWOW! Amazing watercolor background. I love how the color flows and lifts snowflakes. The addition of velina makes the card extra lightweight.
