Snowflakes

Christmas may have come and gone but it's never too early to start making the cards you'll need for this year.  I love sending out Christmas cards so today I have the first one of the new year to share with you.

First, I heat embossed the snowflakes in white onto Vellum.  Then, I used my Copic markers and colored the back of each snowflake using a different shade of blue.  Each snowflake has been punched out, then glued to the Shimmery White background.  Although it is hard to see in the photo, there is a watercolor wash of Soft Sky that is behind the snowflakes.  Next time I think I'll have to go darker so it shows up better. 

Stamp Set:  Flurry of Wishes; Ink:  Soft Sky; Copic Sketch Markers:  B00, B02, B05; Cardstock:  Shimmery White, Vellum, Whisper White; Other:  White Embossing Powder, Snowflake Punch, Flower Medallion Punch, Rhinestone Basic Jewels

The theme I used is from the CAS Watercolour Card Challenge.  For all the challenge details, click the image below.
