Technique is identical to that described in the listing for âChristmas in July,â as these cards were made at the same time with only minor variation. I think I like this one a little better. I do wish I had a better/darker black CS for the card base, though. I think the dull, nondescript background color caused me to overcompensate by adding more and more bling to these 2 cards. Really like the black ice technique. It gives such striking results! TFL!

I think the lighter card base lets that black ice stand out some. The touches of color with the frame and the branches and berries really make it pop! Beautiful card!
