Hello Lovelies! Not the biggest fan of snow, but I do appreciate it's beauty and the chance to make a snowman or angel every now and again. That doesn't come very often in Georgia, so I had to make a Bundled Snowman Cozy Winter Card to get my "snow" on :-) .

Today we'll focus on the 3 Inking Techniques that I used to create a Frosty Scene:

Ink-blending with Water-based Inks
Spraying with a Coordinating Shimmer Spray
Splattering with a Metallic Splatter Medium

These are sure to make any gift extra special!
