3 Months Till Christmas | Simon Says Stamp | Hobbyboden

It is such a good feeling when a card idea ends up exactly as planned. This is one of those times. 

As it is the 24th of the month it's time to show some Christmas card inspiration. 

This is also happening over at the Danish Operation Write Home blog, where I and two fellow crafters share Christmas card inspiration. 

To make the winter sky in the round diecut windue I started off by masking the blue cardstock. Making sure to stay inside the area which would be covered by the white cardfront. 

First I used the ink blending tool with the white pigment ink. Then I used white mist to splatter on some drops of white. I could have stopped there but then I got the idea to add some shine with spray mists. 

The sentiment is heat embossed with my absolute favorite colour Liquied Platinum. 

I always use the powder tool before heat embossing. It truly does make your result so much better and sharp. 

That is all for today, have fun crafting :)
