Create a festive frosty background using Ultramarine Blue Color Burst combined with an emboss resist technique.

Frosty Color Burst Technique

Stamp a 3.75x5" white panel (watercolor paper or mixed media specialty papers work best) randomly with snowflake images from past Holiday UM sets. Sprinkle with silver embossing powder and heat set to melt.

Stamp a small white panel with sentiment from Happy Holiday 2010 UM and the Silent Night 2010 UM small snowflake image Metallic Silver ink. Top with a stamped shrink plastic snowflake. Use the Glue Pen to attach a rhinestone (Woven Strands) to center.

Bonus: Shrink Plastic + Color Burst

Grab a sheet of shrink plastic (we received some a while back in a monthly kit as a goodie) and sprinkle with Color Burst. Spritz with homemade shimmer mist and allow to dry.

Shrink the plastic with a heat tool. The end result is a fun little embellishment for your card. Check out my Double Emboss Technique post for more Color Burst inspiration.
