Make it Monday #33 - Frosted Images

Hidey-ho, folks! Just popping in for a quickie today to show you my take on this week's Make It Monday challenge from the gals over at PapertreyInk. To make frosted images, Lisa taught to stamp your image first in a colored ink, then quickly stamping on top of that with white ink, and using your finger or a sponge dauber to blend the colors together giving it a foggy look.

My image didn't want to blend very well; perhaps my dark blue ink dried too quickly. I wasn't able to get a lot of the color to rub out, so I stuck my finger back, in the white and tried to blend it a little better. You can see that it definitely looks frosted, but not very well fogged.

I added some large crystal glitter for a winter wonderland look, and voila!


It's a bit tough to see the dark blue layer of the card base when photographed against the blue walls of my kitchen!


And a close up:

Cheers!
