icy steampunk for creative expressions DT

well here i am again with an icy and frosty make

using the fab steampunk set

 from Creative Expressions ,

designed by Sam Poole...

this time i have gone for a really icy and frosty feel,

using a favourite seasonal distress of mine..iced spruce...

I just LOVE this colour!

 

so here is my card :

 

 

wish i could get the shimmer and

frostiness

and yummy colour to show better...

 



i started by inking the background with iced spruce DI,

flicking with water and then

drying with heat tool.

i then added the small cog stamped for snowflakes,

and the next smallest cog..in iced spruce

and edged the card in evergreen bough.

 

 

next i put some rock candy distress stickles onto my craft mat

and applied very gently to card..

don't over rub as the ink will blend.

the bird was stamped 3 times using black archival ink,

coloured with distress inks and then

covered in a light coating of glue and seal and coated with loose rock candy distress

( THIS STUFF IS FAB!!!!a subtle sparkle and the colours shine through!)

i did the same to another wing and small wing part

and layered..

 

to complete the card ,

i added some dimensional flowers

made using Tim tattered floral die..

and covered in rock candy distress glitter

and a few twigs..

and added liquid pearls to snowflakes centres

 

 

let me know what you think!

and thanks for taking time in your busy day

to stop by and maybe leave a comment

they are all very appreciated...

have a fun and inky day!
