My first card used the snowflake stamps across the card in a horizontal flurry. I stamped them in Pool Party ink.
The card Base is Pool Party with a layer of Real Red. I also added a sentiment on Real Red embossed in white. A bow of red and white bakers twine adds some texture behind the greeting.
My second card is the same as the first, except I cut out a window with the large snowflake die, and added a layered snowflake behind the window, that is still visible when the card is opened.
On the third version, I stamped the snowflakes across the card in Versamark ink and embossed them in white. I applied Pool Party ink with a blending brush. The embossed images resist the ink, so they are highlighted against the background. I really enjoy seeing the snowflakes appear as the ink is applied on top.
On my final version, I added the embossed snowflakes and the peek-through snowflake cut out.
I can't really decide which one I like best. The simplicity of the white background looks really nice, but I do love to emboss.
Here is a full length how to so you can see the different varieties and the peek through in action.
