Liquid Pixie Dust for Frosty Iced Flowers

  Hello and thanks for stopping by! Today I'm happy to share a project with you using the Blessed stamp set and Atelier Inks with a beautiful stencil from Ink on 3 to create a frosted ink blended look.

The Blessed stamp set is filled with wonderful sentiments as well as a large cross. My favorite saying from this set is "Jesus is the Reason for the Season", which is perfect to take the spotlight in a simple Christmas card.

 The floral area was so much fun to create! I started out with a piece of gray cardstock, which is the same color as the card base. Placing the Flora Stencil only over one end of the cardstock, it was taped in place with a bit of washi tape. First came the Shark Tooth White Atelier ink on a blending brush over the entire area, then I worked Trinity Teal Atelier ink from the center of the flower so it would lighten toward the petal's edge. You could totally stop there and use the image on your project but why not give it a frosty and iced look?

I was inspired by the look of frosted poinsettias I see during the holiday season and Ink on 3's Liquid Pixie Dust is perfect! Using a stiff paint brush, I "pounced" the Pixie Dust onto the stencil image while it was still secured in place. The Pixie Dust mixes with the ink and leaves behind a gorgeous frosty look.
