Instructions

1.   Using cotton balls, apply two shades of blue chalk; rub color onto white cardstock to completely color. DO NOT BLOW OFF EXCESS.

2.   Ink up snowflakes with VersaMark and stamp randomly onto chalked cardstock. Allow to dry. Using cotton balls, rub the entire piece to make the images POP out. Ink up the “hello snow!” saying with Starry Night Ink Pad and stamp onto the snowflake sheet. Using the Marvy Glue Marker, run it all around the edge of stamped sheet and apply glitter.

3.   Layer stamped image onto blue cardstock using Easy Stick and layer again onto the card front with Easy Stick.

4.   Using an X~acto knife, make a slit only large enough for the ribbon to slip through. Using Easy Stick, attach the ends of the ribbon to the inside of the card.  Snip the ribbon in the middle and tie a knot.
