DOUBLE DUTCH CHALLENGE

I had the idea for this card in my head for quite some time.  I was waiting for the weather in the mid-west to get cold and have some snow before I made and sent it to my son & and daughter in law.  Then by chance I found a challenge over at "Double Dutch"  that required you do a card that could hold packets of hot chocolate!  Perfect!  I used glitter paper for the background, punched out snowflakes and a snowflake charm attached to the ribbon.  The snowman on the cup has "Picket Fence" distressed Stickles on him, then I glued on the eyes, nose, mouth and large button.  I colored it with my Copic's.






The inside right background is snowflake stamps.  The snow couple is a stamp done with Copic's, then I added Liquid Applique' for the snow.   The left dark blue holding the packets of hot chocolate are from the front of an old Christmas card.  I just added some glitter Stickles to the snowflakes, fun!

    Hi! The technique you asked about isn't hard to do at all. First I embossed the image with white powder on white card stock. Then I used Tim's ink blending tool and went over the image with distress ink's black soot. Then I sprayed some water on a paper towel and wiped the embossed image "clean", so yes the cloth is wet. Finally I just added some sparkle to the trees with a gel pen. Hopefully I managed to explain what I did, please ask for more help if you need. Or just go for it!! =D Now I'll start to make my own christmas cards and spend Independence day here in Finland. Aloha. =)
    Hugs, SannaS
