I really LOVED making this card, and how beautiful they turned out. I was very excited. I saw this technique in the new Scrapbooks & Cards magazine, and thought I 'd try it. The snowflakes were chipboard ones that I had purchased a long time ago and never used. You cover the chipboard with embossing ink, sprinkle on the first color (I used the blue), heat, and then immediately cover 3-4 times again...with the beginning color. You then cover with another color the last time. I used a sparkly one, but it didn't really change the color. I think if you used a different color rather than almost clear you could see it better. As soon as you have finished heating the last coat, you stamp it with a stamp that has been inked with metallic ink. I used gold. If you look closely, you can tell where some of the embossing powder had started to cool before I got to it...and it doesn't look as embedded. But, on the whole....loved the technique and loved how they turned out.
