Made for 52 Christmas Card Throwdown Technique Challenge #38016: http://52cct.blogspot.co.uk/ that required the use of the masking technique.
I first stamped the Stampin' Up Happy Scenes winter tree stamp onto my Marina Mist card base using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then stamped it again on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. I then glued the white cardstock on the the Marina Mist card base while matching up the tree trunks, then after the glue had dried a minute, I trimmed the white cardstock to match the edges of the blue base.
The snowflakes were individually inked onto the blue background using my Ranger Ink blending tool (cleaning the brass template before doing the next snowflake to avoid smudges). Some flakes I did very bold, and others more lightly to give the card depth.
The greeting from the SU stamp set White Christmas was stamped using Marina Mist ink.
