Winter Village Card with White Ink Swiping Technique

Run your patterned paper through the embossing folder to create the raised village design with trees and pine cones.

Using your die-cutting machine or trimmer, trim down the embossed winter village piece to remove any ragged edges left by the embossing folder. This will give you clean, straight edges for your card panel.

Take your white ink pad and angle it slightly. Drag it down the front of the card in a swiping motion to catch the top of the embossed village design.

Turn the card around and swipe the white ink pad from the bottom upwards across the village scene. This ensures the entire winter village design is highlighted with the white ink effect.

Press slightly harder with the white ink pad if you want a more grainy effect with additional lines showing through on your winter scene card.

Place the embossed panel onto your card base, working from the bottom up. Press firmly to ensure good adhesion and create a grainy texture effect with the mounting.

Add glitter glue to the roofs of the houses and trees on your stamped image. Allow the glue to dry completely clear for a sparkly, dimensional finish.
