A Winter Wonderland

 Thanks for stopping by my blog today. My card is for the Holly and Ivy Challenge, where it is always an anything goes challenge. I found this old wood-mounted Hero Arts scene stamp the other day, which I've been playing around with. Here is one of the cards I made using it.

Using the Kaleidacolor Spectrum Blue Breeze ink pad with a brayer, I inked up a piece of glossy cardstock.

I then sprayed a light mist of water at the top edge of the darker blue and let the water drip down a little. This was then dried with the heat tool. Once it was dry, I rubbed the entire piece with the anti-static bag, before inking and stamping with Versafine Clair Nocturne. 

The inked image was then heat embossed with Clear Detail. After more anti-static powder was applied, I stamped the sentiment using my stamp platform also in the Nocturne ink and heat embossed with Clear Detail.

I cut the panel down a little on the top and the bottom edges and adhered it to an 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" glossy card base. A blue organdy ribbon was tied around the left edge to finish it off!
