Hello once again. The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge has finished their summer break and we start another challenge. The theme is always ‘anything goes Christmas’. Here is my card:
The blue star background was created using a new product from Uniko. An ink and flip stencil. I did have to watch YouTube videos made by the owner – Bev – to get my head around it.
I used one shade of blue Distress Oxide, and by flipping the stencil and ink blending again, you get the different tones, and the snowflake shape. I still have no idea how it works – but it does. There are a few of the ink and flip stencils on the web site, and I did buy a couple of them, so I’ll be playing with them at some point.
Once the background snowflake was done, I decided to heat emboss some snowflakes on top. I did make sure the inked panel was completely dry before doing this, of course.
I randomly stamped the snowflakes in the background – no rhyme or reason – and used a silver embossing powder.
The snowflake panel was cut with Gina K Master Layouts, a black layer added, and then adhered to the card base.
The foiled sentiment was also layered with black, and adhered flat to the panel.
I hope you can come and join us with your Christmas themed creations. xx

Lynda, this is such a nice card! At first I didn’t see what you were talking about with the stencil, but as I scrolled down I saw the two different colors of blue. That’s so cool that you made that! What an interesting product to create with. I would have to watch a YouTube video too, but it looks like a great technique. Your whole card is lovely. Thanks so much for sharing it with us at Christmas (or Not) BINGO Challenges!
