SC1094 Blizzard!

Photo Details

Poster: cdimick

I made the background following the Gilded Faux Silk tutorial found here on Splitcoast: Gilded Faux Silk Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers and then added snowflakes on the front dipping the three white glitter snowflakes in the Starry Night ink to lessen the brightness of the glitter paper.

I heat embossed the word warm in the sentiment with the clear embossing powder. The sentiment is popped up with foam tape.

Thanks for the challenge and thanks for looking!

This is GORGEOUS!! Best looking "blizzard" I have ever seen! heehee

The faux silk background is such a fun technique that I haven't used for years. I need to give it another try in the coming New Year!

The layered faux silk background paired with the softened glitter snowflakes creates such a striking winter scene. The way you blended the inks gives the whole panel a sense of movement, almost like swirling snow, and the dipped glitter flakes add just the right balance of texture. The embossed sentiment stands out beautifully against the cool tones. A gorgeous interpretation of the sketch and a wonderfully atmospheric card.
