simplifying Christmas...


Do you go to the big box stores just before Christmas to find deals on Christmas stamping supplies?
That is where the Stamps I used on this card came from.
The base card is white linen card stock.
On water color paper I stamped the snowflake from  a Hampton Art set that also had a die to match.
Using Versamark for the stamping and white embossing powder i heat embossed it.
Next I die cut it out.
After brushing water on the snowflake I smooshed Distress chipped sapphire ink over the entire piece and then rubbed it off with a tissue.
After glue dotting it to the card front I stamped the verse from a Recollections Christmas set using the Distress ink.
