Resisting Pink Snowflakes

I had one more idea for the Celebration of Learning Challenge at the Hero Arts blog to showcase new techniques you've learned. I think I'm finally getting the hang of the Ranger ink blending tool, and wanted to try it with emboss resist using the Hero Arts Stunning Snowflakes background stamp.

 

I stamped the Snowflakes in Versamark Dazzle ink and used clear embossing powder. I then used Rouge, Pure Poppy, and Dark Peony inks to blend with my Ranger Blending tool, starting with the lightest, moving in from the edges to the center, and using the darker ink to highlight certain portions. I then used the same technique with the Large Christmas Circle sentiment and punched it out with a 1 7/8" circle punch.

 

I finished with Hero Arts Crystal Gemstones in four sizes and coordinating ribbon (double knotted to get the tails to move in the right direction).
