For the Ways to Use It Challenge, the theme is Let it Snow! So with that & the recent bone chilling temps lately, I have a big embossed snowflake and ice skates card.
My skating card is pretty easy. After stamping & coloring w/ Copics, I did do a little out of the box treatment on the top. The grey heather background was embossed & I used a white Permapaque marker to highlight the raised areas. A couple of cobalt blue layers & a little rhinestone, and my 4.25 x 5.50 card was finished!
Thanks so much for looking! It's just been posted on my blog w/ the Copic colors I used: The Write Stuff
