Fun Technique with Snowflakes

 

For today's card I have a fun technique that I hope you will give a try. I started with 3 of the Wonderful Snowflakes, piece of basic white cardstock, blender brush and balmy blue and night of navy ink. I placed one of the snowflakes with the dull side up (shiny side facing the paper) on to the cardstock and gently ink blended the snowflake letting the ink create a shadow. The more you ink blend the darker the snowflake becomes as well as the background. One thing to note is I had to use more of a swiping motion rather than circular because the snowflake is so delicate. I moved the snowflakes around and also switched them when they were the color that I was happy with. I used mostly balmy blue and just a little of the night of navy in the center.

I finished with the greeting stamped with Night of Navy ink and a few Iridescent Rhinestone Jewels.

Share with me if you try this technique out. I think this would also work well with dies you may have in your stash. Thanks for stopping by!
