Today's post is a reminder for the CAS Mix Up Challenge which closes on the 24th of October and we are to Use Real or Faux Metal to design our cards.
This was the first time I have tried the "Black Ice Technique" and it was a lot of fun and very easy to do. Instead of doing all my stamping on the Black Ice piece of card I decided to use Die Cuts as part of my focal point after stamping the Pine Trees and embossing with the Clear Embossing Powder and heat setting it.
Stamps: S/U's Wonderland, Happy Scenes
Card: Thick and Thin Whisper White, Basic Black, Silver Foil
Ink: Stazon Black, Versamark
Cool Tools: 3/4" Circle Punch, Big Shot, AL Dies, Clear E/Powder, Heat Tool, Stamparatus, Dble Sided Tape, Foam Tape, 2 Way Glue Pen
Thanks for visiting today.
Hugs,
A wonderful icy winter card using the Black Ice technique Susan! Your stamped trees are lovely as well as your die cut deer and silver moon! Love the inside too! a beautiful faux metal card! xx
