I've been creating cards with Distress ink blending combination ideas for a few months now and I cannot leave Christmas cards without a festive combination. I also wanted to have stamped and heat embossed snowflakes, but I don't have any snowflake stamps at the moment. What I have, however, is a stencil with snowflakes and since you can use stencils for stamping, that's what I did. The card stock I used is the Canson XL watercolour paper, which I cut into a panel that is slightly smaller than A6. I started with the blending, the inks I used are: - Ground Espresso - Aged Mahogany - Barn Door - Candied Apple If you watch my video, you will see that I started with the lightest colour, the Candied Apple. You can skip this step, it was just to create a guide, as I originally planned to leave the middle very light. Actually, you can skip the Candied Apple altogether. I found that the best way to start is to go from the lightest to the darkest colour. Here I used the Ground Espresso for the darkest shade and I applied it on the edges of the card stock and then I blended it with the Aged Mahogany. I wanted to create a circle or oval around the middle, going from light to dark. Next I blended the Barn Door and lastly I used the Candied Apple that I blended across the middle. If needed you can come back with the other inks to try to blend the colours together. I let the piece dry, you can dry it with a heat tool, but unless I'm in a hurry, I dry it over night. Once the piece was dry, I started with the stamping using a stencil. First I treated the panel with an antistatic powder and then I placed the stencil over it. The stencil is from Newton's Nook Designs and it's called Snowfall. I took the Versamark ink and and I dabbed the ink over the stencil, covering each snowflake with ink. Next I removed the stencil, sprinkled a white embossing powder over it and melted it with my heat tool. Initially I thought I will just add a banner with a sentiment, but then I finally remembered that I could use a backers twine. I usually forget that I have it. I wrapped the bakers twine three times lengthwise around the panel and attached it from the back using an adhesive. Lastly I adhered a banner saying Happy Holidays that I stamped and heat embossed on a craft card stock and then I adhered the panel on to of a craft card base.
