Snow Cards

Hello! I have two new cards to share today! I used alcohol inks and Lift Off ink and this was the result.

First up is the card with the alcohol inks. I used purple, blue and teal inks and played around with layering them on glossy cardstock until I was happy with the result. I then took some snowflake, clear cling stamps and arranged them on my MISTI. I inked them up with Alcohol Lift Off ink and stamped. I then put my second panel in the MISTI and stamped the ink off (see that panel on the card below). I ended up doing that two more times to make the effect more visible. I still felt the snowflakes were pretty faint, so I rotated my card and stamped them again  with white pigment ink for more interest. I added some vellum to the top and bottom and stamped my sentiment on a strip of cardstock. I punched a few snowflakes to layer on top as well. One of them I heat embossed with sparkle embossing powder. To finish things off, I added some clear rhinestones.

To add more texture to my second card, I used a snowflake embossing folder. I then cut the snowflake using my Cricut. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on vellum and wrapped it around my card front. To finish off the card, I added Liquid Pearls around the large snowflake.

I am entering these in the Use Your Stuff- Snow or Winter challenge.
