Today's CAS challenge on Splitcoast Stampers was to use the thumping technique - which I've never done before. Thumping is when you ink a stamp with an ink pad in one colour and then tap the side of a different coloured marker randomly on the image. Then you huff on the stamp and stamp your image - easy, effective and quick too!
I've used SU! Bashful Blue ink and then thumped with a Marvy Amethyst marker. I don't have SU! markers - yet! I really liked how I got a two toned effect on my snowflake and so decided to thump the sentiment too.
The ribbon is by Doodlebug and I used matching Bazzill Doodlebug CS. The snowflake has a gem brad in the centre and the scalloped circle is popped up. To finish, I rounded the bottom corners of the card.
Here's a close up pic of the snowflake:
