hi there,
Here is my card for the F4A challenge today; Bring on the Bling.
I inked my card front with Distress inks then wet the back of my stencil and placed it over the ink. It removed some of the color leaving behind a ghosting image.
Stamped the sentiment and the snowflake with a blue gem. To add the snowy feel I inked the edges with Versamark and heat embossed with white powder.
thanks for looking,

Karen every inch of this is beautiful. The ghost stencilling looks fabulous and I love the snowy embossed edges. I could spend a week wandering through your gallery.

That ghosting technique makes such a pretty bg...I always forget to use that tevhnuque. The white embossed edges are fantastic. Another idea I need to remember.

Oh Karen, this is just stunning! The colors of this card are absolutely gorgeous. I love the subtle stenciling a lot and I love how the vivid blues you achieved here really showcase this gorgeous snowflake! Someone will be thrilled to receive this beautiful card in the mail. ~Karen M.
