On the first card I stamped the image and sentiment with Black Soot Distress Archival ink on to a 4" x 6" panel of Distress Watercolor card and added a light wash of Faded Jeans Distress ink. I added snowflakes randomly on the background using the Snowflake Shifter Stencil and Faded Jeans and Hickory Distress inks using a mini round blending tool. I matted the panel on to Tim Holtz Ideaology Silver Metallic trimmed slightly larger and added to a 5" x 7" white card blank.
On the second card I created a watercolor background using Faded Jeans and Hickory Smoke Distress inks using the watercolor smooshing technique on to a panel of Distress Watercolor card die-cut with Tim Holtz/Sizzix Stacked Deckle Thinlits. I stamped the image on to the panel and the sentiment on to a scrap of Distress Watercolor card with Black Soot Distress Archival ink. I attached the panel to a panel of Tim Holtz Idea-ology Silver Metallic card which I had stamped with the background from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Lumberjack inked with Black Soot Distress Archival ink and matted on to a 5" x 7" white card blank.
To finish, I used the Snowflake Shifter Stencil with Ranger Opague Texture Paste to add a few snowflakes around the edges

Both cards are beautiful Kath, I love the blue tones in the background, it gives a lovely cold, crisp, wintry feel. I love how you embellished them too. Hugs, Anne xx
