hi there,
What a fun MIX challenge today; Anything Goes. I went back to the MIX26 challenge; stencils. Also casing one of the earliest cards I faved back in 2007 called Frosty Flowers for the F4A challenge today. You can see the original card here: WT105 Frosty Flowers by papermoon04 at Splitcoaststampers
I began by placing my stencil on my white cardstock and stenciled over it using Goosebumps (this is like a glue like medium that can be used to give clear textures when dry). I pressed my Distress ink pads onto my non-stick craft sheet, sprayed with water then when it was dry, I dragged my stenciled piece through the wet ink. It left an interesting, icy looking bkg. I did a bit of distressing to my page too.
I die-cut my snowflake and added it to my card front.
thanks for looking,

This is absolutely gorgeous! I love the icy color combos, and the shiny snowflake is a perfect centerpiece. Thanks for playing the Mix-Ability challenge!
