Hello, just popping by with an extra mid week post to help you get ahead with your Christmas cards.
The 52 Christmas card throwdown challenge this week is ink blending.
I used a snowflake embossing folder winter snow from Stampin’ Up! for my backdrop,
which I then blended with blue ink, to highlight the detail.
I die cut the snow using never before used Greetery snowdrift, the swirl detail gives extra texture.
The scene was fussy cut from some retired paper and tucked behind the snow drift.
I’m entering….52cct challenge
and
Inkspirational challenge #292 (embossed background)
Peace on earth challenge #42 (anything goes)
Can you handle the pressure (anything goes embossing folder)
Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate your visits and comments.

Excellent blending work here and the dotty swirls on the snowdrift are really effective. Great card
