QF Nov/12 - Snowflakes Merry Xmas

And another card made with Quietfire Design's newest batch of Xmas stamps... I sure am getting plenty of SNOW!!!


I cut out a Spellbinders grand oval from some scrap cardstock to use as a mask/stencil. Stamped the image I got in a garage sale (PSX) through the mask/stencil with Versafine Black Onyx and clear embossed. Colored with a water brush and watercolor pencils, by flicking the tip of my moist brush against the pencil tip and then painting with the brush. Using the mask/stencil to sponge Distress Chipped Sapphire lightly around the edges of the oval, then outline the oval with a Pitt Metallic Gold pen.

With the drop out of the oval mask/stencil in place, stamped the snowflakes and Merry & Christmas snowflakes with Versafine Toffee and embossed with Queen's Gold.

Stamped the little snowflakes (from a previous Xmas release from Quietfire Design) with Perfect Medium and embossed with Silver Opal.

Sponged the edges of the card with Distress Gathered Twigs and some Broken China
