this is my first post for the 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown. I am really excited to join this wonderful challenge as a Design Team Member - now I get to create Christmas cards the whole year long.
- stamp Hero Arts Magical Background with Distress Paint (Picket Fence) and create a resist
- apply Distress Ink (Weathered Wood, Tumbled Glass, Broken China) to create a diagonal ombre background and ink the edges with the darkest color
- add a strip of silver glitter paper to the diagonal
- stamp the sentiment from Create a Smile Schöne Bescherung with Versamark on a strip of vellum and heat-emboss with WOW! Bright White Super Fine embossing powder
- cut a snowflake from sturdy white cardstock and color it with Distress Stains (Brushed Pewter, Tumbled Glass)
- cover the snowflake with glue and apply Distress Glitter (Clear Rock Candy)
- mat the panel on a piece of Distress Cardstock (Tumbled Glass) and adhere it to a white cardbase
