I made this card today for Lynn's technique lover's challenge to do a speckled background.--only, I had no simple green cleaner, so I used rubbing alcohol to spritz and I don't have a brayer, so I sponged on teal and bashful blue. I wish I would have gone heavier on the ink--I did get a nice effect, but you can only see it irl, not so much in the pic--sorry. :( Anyway, I used my Cornish Heritage Farms Snowfamily and greeting, which I think is just darling. I added a big snowflake covered in diamond stickles to make this card eligible for this week's OCC challenge too (to make a something with a snowman/snowflakes). Thanks for looking.
