Bold Tidings Joy to the World Snowman Christmas Card
Good morning, I hope you are keeping safe and well. Here in the UK today snow has arrived. In my family they joke that I only have to look at ice and snow and I fall over and true to form I slipped over on the ice yesterday so today I'm nursing a grazed knee and a few aches and pains but luckily nothing major.
I have been doing bit of batch card making so I have four cards to share today with the same design only different colours
- Tim Holtz Bold Tidings #2 by Stampers Anonymous CMS419 stamped on black card and heat embossed in white. I masked out the O from joy and replaced it with the snowman from the My Favorite Things Christmas Cuteness stamp set
- The backgrounds are ink blended using Distress Oxides and then I have stamped snowflakes on it which were then heat embossed in silver.

Stampers Anonymous Snow Globe Christmas Cards
- Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous CMS472 Festive Print stamp set stamped with Distress Archival Ink and then over stamped with versamark ink, heat embossed with Ranger sticky embossing powder and then covered with rock candy glitter.
- The Merry Christmas sentiment is from the same stamp set and heat embossed in white.
- The backgrounds are Grey Distressed Woodgrain cardstock. One of them has been stencilled with Distress Snowflake Texture Paste and the other with Distress Sparkle Texture Paste and then coloured with a combination of distress mica spays and distress inks. One of the pastes holds the ink colour and the other you can lift the ink from it with a damp kitchen roll.
