A lovely limited supplies challenge today which gave me the chance to use a stamp I bought just before Christmas last year and didn't really have time to use. It's a huge stamp but works really well with Versafine ink. I've water coloured with Ranger distress inks and highlighted the snowflakes with a white gel pen. The image is loaded with stickles in various colours but unfortunately it doesn't show up much in the picture. I matted the image on white and stuck to a black card which I'd scored in a diagonal criss cross pattern on my scoreboard. The sentiment is matted on the black card and mounted on dimension tape. I dotted different coloured gems in the centre of the whole diamond shapes that showed outside the image and sentiment. TFL.

I love how the black makes this card pop! It is fabulous!
