Flakes and Rock Candy


Have you ever recorded how many hours it takes to make your handmade Christmas greeting cards? And who else feels guilty if you buy a store bought greeting card lol! 


But I thoroughly enjoyed every minute spent on crafting these handmade cards!



For the backgrounds on most of the cards, I smooshed inks individually on acetate, spritzed with water, and then smooshed on cardstock or watercolor paper. I mostly used distress oxide inks, but also some regular stampin up ink colors.


All of the snowflakes are older Stampin Up dies that were cut out of colored cardstock, brushed on with Wink of Stella, then added Ranger's glossy accents in followed with Tim Holtz  Rock Candy (large glitter). Also added the Rock Candy to random spots on the edges of each card panel.
