Custom Snowflake Background



Hello crafty friends! Today I have a card and a video with a winter theme using the Snowflake Whispers and Cool Buddies stamp sets. I love the beautiful snowflakes from Snowflake Whispers and I love creating a custom background. So I decided to layer the snowflakes using some Distress Oxide inks. You can get more details in the video:


Distress Oxide inks give great crisp impressions even on detailed images like these snowflakes. I added the fox from Cool Buddies because I knew the orange fox would really pop off the blue monochromatic card.
