Lydia (Understandblue) hosted the Mixed Media Challenge today, and she challenged us to create using the Glue Stick Resist Technique. This is a technique that I've never used before, and it was fun! Thanks, Lydia for such a great technique!
To create the card, I applied a SU Glue Stick in a chevron pattern over a piece of water color paper. After drying, I sponged three different colors of blue distress ink onto the panel. Then I removed the glue from the panel with a baby wipe.
I decided to use the water color panel to cut out a snowflake panel with the ODBD Snowflake Sky Dies. I really like the outcome. I also used the ODBD Snow Crystals Dies, which coordinate with the Snowflake Sky Dies, to add two white glitter snowflakes. Then I wrapped this panel with blue ribbon and a bow with a SU Frosted Finishes Embellishment in the center.
Thanks for viewing and commenting!!

Wow, Bev! The impact of that technique die cut in this snowflake die is amazing! Love the mix of blues in this! Your ribbon is the perfect finishing touch, topped off with that beautiful embellishment!
