I'm not a big technique stamper, but I decided to try a technique I found on SCS featuring debossing (which is using the reverse side of an embossed piece of card stock, so the design is a hollow rather than a raised area.) To do this particular technique, you cover the raised part of the EF with Versamark and emboss the paper, which transfers the Versamark to the hollows in the paper. Then, cover the paper with embossing powder to fill the hollows and heat.
I used an old Stampin Up snowflake folder. The EP was a glittery white but the photo doesn't show the glittery aspect (which is too bad as it is quite glittery). After embossing, put distress inks on a mat, spritz with water and dab the card stock (actually watercolor paper in this instance) to get color on the card.
Finished the card with matting, an embossed sentiment and a few silver snowflakes.
