A bit of silver and blue

 This week's Crafting Time theme is Silver and Blue, and I instantly thought of Christmas trees!!!  Don't ask why I am not sure myself.

I love all things IndigoBlu so thought it would be a perfect excuse to play with this fab Christmas tree, Merry Christmas.  For both cards I used navy blue and silver cardstock.

 For my first play, I mean sample, I simply stamped the image in versamark ink and then embossed using silver embossing powder before layering up onto silver card and the card blank.

 The second card using the same stamp, but this time I used IndigoBlu gilding flakes. You basically apply glue to your stamp, stamp and then rub the mega flakes over and scrub until you get a smooth finish - it is FAB!!  I love the change from mess to smooth perfection!!  You can either buy as starter kit, or buy the glue and different gliding flakes spearately - look here for the full range.
