Happy Friday!
Today's card is one of the techniques I showed this month; Rock Salt Background. I also had a chance to demonstrate the new Illuminate Glimmer pad - a new favorite of mine I must say! On dark backgrounds it looks a stunning shimmery silver and on light backgrounds a beautiful pearly opalescent. Its almost like two inks in one!
If you haven't heard of the Rock Salt Background technique, here's a quick description:
Begin with a piece of glossy white or Whisper White cardstock. Sprinkle coarse salt randomly on the cardstock. Run through the Big Shot; using Tab #2 and both cutting plates. Discard the salt and brayer. Viola! A beautiful snowy winter sky!
Supplies:
Stamp sets: Lovely as a Tree, Snowflake Soiree, Dasher (retired)...Christmas Deer set would work well for this scene as well
Cardstock: Glossy White cardstock, Basic Gray, Basic Black
Ink: Basic Black, Midnight Muse, Illuminate Glimmer pad
Accessories: Silver brads, coarse salt, brayer, sponges, snail adhesive
