WT714 grungy snowflakes

Photo Details

Poster: Crafty Julia

For today's make a mess- I was inspired by the children's book The Snowy Day- and went with a grunge theme, adding dry embossed circle and snowflakes borders. I recycled a holiday mailer with red and red striped paper for 2 sides, and used the shaving cream technique, swiping my brown ink pad against my waxed paper, then applying shaving cream, pressed onto my card stock. Scraped it off, and there's my background for my stamped images

Cool, Julia. I like your tennis shoes and guitar. I'm thinking some boy...or girl... will be into this card. I also like your snowflake style embossing folder. Would you believe I have never tried the shaving cream technique? Duh

I like the soft marbled look you got on the center piece. It works well with those outline images.
