I kreated this card for my recent Holiday Mini class bash and it also complies with Stamp Simply #103 challenge to 'merely stamp your sentiment over your image'. This card had the wow factor in my class as it was so easy to kreate using a very cool technique called VersaMark Resist. (click on card to enlarge) Ready for the steps and supplies...
* Started with Glossy White cardstock
* Inked up my Serene Snowflakes in VersaMark and randomly stamped them onto the Glossy Cardstock
* Inked up my Brayer in Bashful Blue Classic ink and rolled it over my Glossy Cardstock until it was completely covered and 'blended'. Tip: I rolled my brayer both vertically and horizontally over the card to get full blended coverage - continue to ink up brayer and apply to glossy paper to achieve desired hue of color.
VOILA' my beautiful Serene Snowflakes resist the ink and kreate a beautiful card in minutes!
* My sentiment from All Holidays was inked with Ruby Red Craft ink and guess what... for those of you who follow me regularly know that I love my Ice :), I sprinkled Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder and with my Heat Tool, heated to set my sparkle. Tip: When heating Glossy Cardstock it tends to warp slightly, a little extra SNAIL adhesive to the back and layering onto an additional matte will do the trick!
* Glossy Cardstock image matted with Whisper White and layered onto my Brocade Blue card base.
* The delicate Organza Ribbon was the perfect touch for my Serene Snowflakes. Accented with a Jumbo White Grommet and faux knot adhered in the middle with a glue dot... I LOVE the simplicity of this card. Definitely falls into my 'under 15' minutes category! Hope you like it. Leave me a comment below to let me know, love it when you do!!

You really know how to glam it up, Kim! So simple and pretty.
