Hello Ai Fans!
Today I'd like to share with you some more of the Christmas cards I sent to my family and closest friends. I used Lighted Snowman Set (Sku#4349) And the Snowflake Cluster (Sku#D642)


One again I colored using water cooler. It's so easy and quick. It's my go to technique.
I stamped the snowflakes with glue and sprinkled glitters over the glue. I heated one more time to fix the glitter. I must admit that there was glitter everywhere, but I had fun and the result is absolutely stunning, so I don't care about a little glitter in the face. ;) I also used some glossy accent on the light bulbs and I stitched all around the card to make a sort of frame. This card in person is gorgeous!


Because I liked my card so much, I was thinking about other ways of making the same card and I figured I'd like to try some stamping with white ink over chalkboard paper. I found this small 6x6 pad and this sheet with a fine border was working perfectly.


I first stamped in white and colored directly on the black but the results weren't so good, so I decided to rest amp my snowmen on white card stock, doing the same thing as on my previous card. It's cute too.

Happy New year!!

Marie, you inspire me every time I see your water-coloured creations!! I have all of my supplies ready to go, so this is one of my 2014 resolutions to try. I love the two different versions of your card!

WOW! 2 very different results from the same image and I LOVE them both! The black background is particularly elegant! Hugs, Cheryl
