I made 4 of these for my June Christmas cards. I'm amazed that we're halfway through the year already!
I used the simple green technique (I think it probably has a different name but I can't remember what it is!) for the background of this card - brayer different colours of ink onto glossy cardstock, spray it with Simple Green then let it dry (I used my heat gun because I'm impatient). Then I ran it through the snowflakes Cuttlebug embossing folder for extra texture.
Thanks for looking!

Gorgeous card! I love the way you did the background, but I also have never heard of 'simple green'....is it a varnish? I love that gorgeous embossed snowflake too!

Yellowrose - Simple Green is a cleaning spray. I bought it in Home Hardware (do you have those in Ontario?) I'm sure I saw the technique on SCS, but now I can't find it anywhere!
Thanks everyone for your kind comments!
