Sweet Stamps- Snow

It's Christmas in July at Sweet Stamps this month. Out challenge for week one is SNOW!
 

 I made an ATC and a card- first the ATC:

 And here is the card:

 I was experimenting to see what I can cut in the die cutter.  On the ATC, I used the bottom of a Chipotle  tray (aluminum) to cut out the snowflake die. I used white paint over the metal, and then dabbed on Winter Frost Creative Inspirations Paint. (I love this IRL!!!).
 For the snowflakes on the card, I die cut the snowflakes with regular white cardstock. I dabbed on Tumbled Glass ink, then highlighted with Nassau Blue Shades die ink. I then painted the top with CI paint Tanzanite. I dabbed on a little more Nassau Blue Shades Die ink- I took a close-up picture:

For the card background, I used the distress inks on a craft sheet and spritzed water onto the ink. Next, I dragged the ink thru the inks. I dried the cardstock between each color. I randomly stamped the snowflakes on the backgrounds in the Distress Inks and the Nassau Shades Die Ink. To add a little more depth, I stamped  snowflakes with the white paint.  Using the Nassau blue, a couple of areas were added using bubble wrap.
