January Challenge at Dare 2B Artzy

This month’s challenge over at Dare 2B Artzy is Winter Wonderland! I know here in Iowa the chill is ON! So it is not hard to gather inspiration for chilly cards. 

 

I created mine using the Snowflake Wishes stamp set.

I heat embossed them with a clear, sparkling embossing powder,

Then used my Copic ABS to air brush 4 colors over the top of the flakes.

To make the snowflakes shine through again I dripped a little Colorless Blender on a paper towel and gently wiped over the embossing and the Copic ink comes right up!

Lastly I used a beautiful patterned paper from D2BA, used a punch to get a loopy edge and pulled out some ancient rhinestone swirls from my old stash to put this lovely card together.

Make sure to stop by Dare 2B Artzy there will be NEW products popping up near the end of the month AND make sure to get your Winter Wonderland challenge turned in!

Thank you for stopping by today!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
