Christmas Resist with SS

This week's Sweet Stamps Challenge is a:

Christmas Resist

Wow, I must admit, it was kind of hard trying to make a Christmas card, when the weather is so warm and nice here!  But, it has gotten me in the spirit and thinking I really need to start on those x-mas cards!  Before you know it, Christmas will be here once again!!

The entire month of July at SweetStamps.com we celebrate:
Christmas in July

So for the entire month, each week we will be sharing Christmas projects using various Christmas/Winter stamps from SS!!


I am in love with the Snowflake #1 from SS, along with the I Love Snow sentiment!  As although I hate driving in the white stuff, it sure does make our landscape look pretty in winter!!


Here's the card I created:

I used the resist technique to create the bottom piece of paper. 

I first took a piece of watercolor paper and stamped my snowflake image with VersaMark and then embossed with white embossing powder!  I then used a paint brushed dipped in water and then in the cover of my two paint choices I used; Denium and Turquoise.  I painted the two colors on the paper until I got a background I liked.  I then lightly took a piece of towel and wiped of the excess on the snowflake images.  

What a beautiful shimmer!

I used CI Paint Winter Frost to add shimmer to the snowflakes!!  My favorite paint to use for holiday cards!!
