Hello friends! I meant to get this post and video up sooner but we got a TON of snow over the weekend and it's taken 2 days to shovel it all out so we can get out of the house!
Anywho - this is part of my 2020 Christmas Card series - if you've missed any of the previous posts so far you can find them all here:

And now for today's cards:
I had SO much fun making these - and they turned out almost exactly how I was picturing them in my head which is always fabulous!
These are 3.5 x 8.5" slimline cards.
I created card bases from Neenah Desert Storm card stock, and then ink blended Speckled Egg, Faded Jeans and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide inks over them. I LOOOOOVVEEEE blending Distress Oxides over Neenah Desert Storm card stock. They blend so well on it and look SO gorgeous.
I then applied Nuvo Winter White Glacier Paste over the backgrounds using the Simon Says Stamp Large Falling Snow stencil. Another favorite couple of products and another happy dance at the result!
The snow drifts were created with white card stock and My Favorite Things Stitched Slimline Snow Drifts Die-namics. I stacked the layers together on the fronts of the cards and added just one layer to the insides.
All the trees and trunks from the MFT Tree Trio Die-namics were die cut from watercolor paper and then watercolored with my Prima Woodlands palette. After they were adhered to the cards I glued on a bunch of Ranger Mica Flakes to give them that snowy ice crystal look.
I white heat embossed sentiments from the Bitty Holiday Wishes stamp set for the fronts of the card and stamped the Wishing You a Very Merry Christmas with the Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide ink on the inside and that was it!
