For this card, I made this while in Kristina Werner's online card class last week. We cut a V shape for a mask and made a beam of light using white pigment ink. So easy to do, why hadn't I thought of this before? Ink blended onto blue cardstock instead of white cardstock and it's A LOT less blending of blue inks that way.
I get my envelopes at the Dollar Tree for $1. They are #6 3/4. Size is 3.63" x 6.5" by Pen Gear. 100 for $1.

What a beautiful Christmas card, Sherri! And thanks for the wonderful tip...much easier that blending all the blue inks! Thanks so much for playing along with the mini slimline challenge today!

Wow, this is gorgeous Sherry. I never would have thought to sponge on white pigment ink for the light, either! Did you have to dry the ink with a heat tool? Just a stunning card!

@cjzim
I'm not able to send you a PM, it says your mailbox is full?
For my recent card I just made with the light beam, no heat gun needed. The white pigment ink dried pretty quick. But the oxides inks should be dried before you do the light beam or it may smear.
