The Ways to Use It challenge today is to use the emboss resist technique or a variation. One of those is the Magic Snowflake technique (tutorial found here on SCS); I had never tried this particular technique, kind of a combination of Polished Stone and Emboss Resist. Very fun!

Your Magic Snowflakes have turned out beautifully - but I also love the way you've stamped some more on the base. The contrast between those blue ones on white, and your magic white ones on the blues is really effective.

Love blue and white for snow cards. I have only experienced one white Christmas in all my 63 years, but I do love the pattern of snowflakes and seeing them on cards and holiday decorations.

Your card is beautiful with the Magic Snowflake technique, Claudia. I agree, it has a polished stone effect and gives your stamped snowflakes an ethereal feeling.

I've never tried this technique before but I really love the background it makes. So smooth looking! Beautiful card with its multiple types of snowflakes. Lovely!
