Snowflakes

This week chrissie and Mandi say "Once more we are back to the second week of the month and so our challenge is for a
ONE LAYER CARD. The special feature we would like to see this week is for you to
USE INK
** This does include ink pads **
...hopefully in a way you haven't tried before.... or using a favourite technique.
If you can avoid using the computer this week, that would be great, but we wouldn't want to to miss a week if the computer is your only method of card making"
Mmm ... Well one layer cards don't worry me too much but I have always ended up with an inky mess whenever I have tried to use ink for anything other than plain old stamping!
I found a pack of sponge daubers I had never opened and some inks and had a play..  I overstamped with a Papermania snowflakes stamp and added gems to the centres of the snowflakes.  I'm quite pleased with it and will have another go later...

    This looks as though you had fun!
    It's a super card and the added sparkle looks great.
    I shall look forward to the next inky instalment!
    Thanks so much
