Today I went very inky and had lots of fun with distress oxides to create these four cards for the theme of sparkling snowflakes.
The card designs are actually quite simple because I put all the effort into the background panels.
I started with smooshing the distress oxides and then added stamping, stencilling, splattering and then finally I embossed them.
I then stamped and embossed the sentiment four times. I also created a coordinating colour base for the mat for the sentiment using the oxides.
I raised the sentiment up before I stuck it down – this gave it a little dimension above the textured background.
I then die cut the snowflakes from glitter cardstock and added them.
I did vary the composition for each one – and of course the card bases I made out of two different colours of cardstock.
Quite a bright set of pretty cards!
Happy crafting!
