| The gold washi tape really enhances the vibrant colours of the Brusho strip |
Naturally, I swished the strip of watercolour paper through the puddles but then decided that I wanted more impact so, while it was still wet, I sprinkled on some more of the crystals. I love the dramatic colour effect!
I then used some Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper, Bermuda Bay and Real Red cardstock to make this card - along with the gorgeous Swirly Snowflakes dies. I coloured some Clear Faceted Gems with my Stampin' Blends alcohol markers.
You may be wondering about the "splodgy" colouring on the snowflakes? Well, I finally used a failed experiment that's been sitting on my desk for quite a few months now! It was so long ago that I can't even remember the name of the technique but it involved painting several layers of white acrylic paint onto a piece of watercolour paper and then adding a layer of ink, allowing it to dry and then dripping on some alcohol before repeating the inking and dripping.

| My rather ugly background that I'd left discarded before I thought of die-cutting it! |
As a background paper it was a dismal failure - I thought it quite ugly - but I really like the effect now that it's been cut into snowflakes!
Thank you for visiting.
'Til next time!
