Little Snowflakes...

Hello everyone!
It's the last week of the month at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown, which means that we have a Technique challenge for you....

...we'd like to see Heat Embossing on your cards.

First I heat embossed several snowflakes on a piece of white cardboard paper. I sprayed water over it and then spread watercolours in two different shades of blue on the wet paper. - The embossed aeras remain white. This technique is also called "Emboss Resist".

To make it flat again, I put an acrylic block  and a bottle of water on the paper and let it dry overnight.

Next day I die cut small stars from the panel and trimmed and backed it with a slightly wider light yellow paper. I wrapped some silver string around the panel and glued the label with the text on it. I added some Wink of Stella to the stars, to give them shine.

Finally, I glued the panel on the white card and added some half pearls.

ENJOY!!
