Two Challenges in One

Snow/Glitter from Created By Hand Challenge http://createdbyhandchallenge.wordpress.com/ and Sunday Stamper's Challenge Blue.  http://craftaddicts-tracyevans.blogspot.com/2010/07/sunday-stamper-challenge_11.html.

I started with Distress Ink Broken China (Blue) and sponged around.  I stamped snowflake stamps using Resistance Ink and then used snowflake glitter embossing powder.  For the scallop punch piece I stamped with both Craft White Ink and Blue Ink.  I then used Distressed Stickles Rocky Candy and Diamond Stickles and Icicle Stickles.

Thank You

I started this card with sponging Ranger's Distressed Ink Victorian Velvet on a 4 x 3 rectangle.  I then inked up one of my rose stamps with Embossing Distress Ink.  I then sprinkled Vintage Photo Embossing Powder over the image and shook off excess and then used my heating tool to dry the powder.  I added golden rod stickles on each corner.  I matted this image on 4 1/4 x 3 1/4 rectangle which I distressed in both Mustard Seed and Tumbled Glass.  For the main part of the card I stamped the rose stamp in Victorian Velvet and stamped each of the corner of the main card and sponge distressed in Mustard Seed.  

The "Thank You" was stamped in Watermark Resist Ink and then Roman Embossing Powder was sprinkled on and melted.  I stained it with Mustard Seed and Victorian Velvet and added a dot of Golden Rod Stickles to each scallop.
