I am posting this card to HLS Christmas Challenge and I selected this Penny Black tree. First I rubbed/sponged three shades of Distress Ink and then spritzed with water and let it dry completely and then stamped using VersaMark, and then used white embossing powder. I really like using embossing powder and love the white. The image was then die cut and then matted with blue cardstock. First I embossed the sentiment with white on the focal image but the sentiment did not show like it does on the tree. I then stamped/embossed on a snippet of blue cs and then attached with mounting tape. I did apply Wink of Stella on the larger snowflakes but they do not show. Lastly I attached the image onto the base card.
Stamps - Penny Black "Snow Dust," SU! Happy Winter (sentiment)
Inks - Distress Ink Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers, Faded Jeans, VersaFine
Paper - Michael's white card stock, SU! Pacific Point
Die Cut - Little Inkers "Stitched Rectangle"
Other - white embossing powder, Wink of Stella
