Another Christmas card. I know! I can't stop making them. Must be all those Christmas movies I'm watching while working. But when I saw Beate's latest technique on SCS, I knew I had to try it. I forget how she calls it and am too lazy to look it up (it's late) but I'm gonna call it Snowflake Resist, cuz that's what it looks like.
I made two, with different labels. I'd like to know which one you like the best. Here's the 2nd one:
By looking at it, you'd think that the tree was stamped after the background was done but it's completely the opposite! The tree (from my old faithful Lovely As a Tree stamp set) was first stamped with Whisper White Craft Ink on Glossy White CS, then embossed with White EP. The next step is to take a cotton ball and put some rubbing alcohol on it and a few drops of Classic Re-Inkers. Here I've used Ballet Blue and Night of Navy. You cover the whole surface of the glossy white CS, even the image, to create your background. Then, you heat it with the Heat Tool and watch the embossed image repel the ink! It's like magic, I love it!
Here's to a fresh new week ahead! CeeCee
