I started by using a panel of Simon Says Stamp Mega Thick 130 lb Card stock<\/a><\/strong> (my favorite ink blending card stock) and my Snowflake Cluster Stencil<\/strong><\/a>. This is a really delicate stencil, so I sprayed the back with Pixie Spray<\/strong><\/a> so that I could get a nice crisp design when I was blending. I spritzed the stencil then fanned it for about 20 seconds before laying it down on the panel. I grabbed my Simon Says Stamp \u2013 Blending Brushes<\/a><\/strong> and my new favorite colors of Pawsitively Saturated Ink \u2013 Marine<\/a><\/strong> and Cadette<\/a><\/strong>. These are seriously my new favorite colors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n I was random with my concentrations of colors. I wanted to make sure there were some light spots, as well as some dark. Once I was happy, I removed the stencil and washed it immediately. Next, I grabbed the large joy die from the Holiday Workshop that Concord and 9th put on. I aligned it on the panel in a diagonal manner to be able to use the card panel as well as the cut out letters. I set the cut letters aside and grabbed some Silver Glitter Card Stock<\/a><\/strong> and cut the Joy out again from the silver. I made sure to keep some of the pieces of the “O” to be sure to glue them down. \u00a0I wanted the inserted florals to match, so I swiped my inks onto a sheet of white paper and let it dry while I glued the letters down. Once I had the letters intserted and glued, I used the additional die cuts to cut out the floral dies to then glue into the letters. I used Gina K Connect Glue<\/a><\/strong> to glue all the things down. I added some cornflower blue jewels to finish the card off as well as a Reverse Christmas Sentiment<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Hello Crafty friends!
