So Suzy Themes and Techniques January Challenge

Hi Everyone,

Happy New Year to all of you!

We have a new feature at So Suzy Stamps called

Themes and Techniques
and for January its going to be seasonally appropriate:

• Theme: Baby It’s Cold Outside
• Techniques: Vellum (use vellum in your project)

My stamp supplies:

Snowflake Kisses sentiment, Blowing Snowflake Tree

I decided to combine the theme with the technique.

I started out with heat embossing the Blowing Snowflake Tree stamp with ultrafine white embossing powder.

Added the sentiment, using my Misti - 

I want a good black impression of that, which means repeat stamping.

Sponged distress ink around the tree and added punched out vellum snowflakes - the vellum I had colored with alcohol inks, but it did not work... got really crumply and I did not like it

Still wanted something else, so I die cut a Memory Box border die with vellum and added it to the top of my card

To give it some sparkle I added Stickles. 

 It turned out a little busier than I normally like my cards...

Go and check out all those fabulous inspiration cards our talented DT made!
