Here's what I came up with using the Black Ice technique and Metal:
It almost looks like a black and white photo of a snowflake doesn't it? You start with silver mirror cs and lightly swipe a black Stazon pad across the cs. Once it dried I ran my piece through my Big Shot with an older Darice embossing folder with smaller snowflakes, and then lightly ran my Versamark pad across the top and then then embossed with clear embossing powder. The shine is FABULOUS!!
I die cut an Alexis Snowflake from SSS and embossed it 3 times with silver to give the metal look and glued it to my Black Ice panel. I matted this with a piece of white to give the black & white photo look and then backed that with some foam for dimension and adhered to a white card base. My sentiment is from PTI's Peaceful Pinecones set.
Check out the cards from the rest of the DT and from those already in the gallery and then play along right HERE. This challenge is open till the 24th.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

In a word... Stunning!!!! I love this Marcia and you rocked that technique!
Holy smokes Marcia, this is spectacular! I love the incredible metallic look you've achieved with the technique. The framing in white was the perfect choice too. Beautifully done!
Gosh I wish I were good at these techniques...This is one stunning card, Marcia. It's one of the most beautiful cards I've seen lately. That shimmer and shine is amazing, and your design is wonderful. What a cool (no pun intended...) card! Bev
So amazing, Marcia! See, now if we only could get together for a play date once a week, I would be satisfied!
I really love this! I just saw the tutorial for this yesterday and I can't wait to try it myself. Your card is simply elegant!!
Beautiful card with the black ice technique, Marcia. Hope you have a great week.
Oh my gosh ... this is AMAZING! So artistic Marcia! Love how you've combined two fantastic metal techniques in this one, beautiful CAS card. Way to go! xx
Isn't this a fabulous technique, Marcia! I love how you've embossed the small snowflakes and added the large layered embossed one! A very classy card, my friend!
The black ice technique looks fabulous used here with this large star Marcia, and the sentiment stands out perfectly against this panel stamped on to a white strip and mounted over the top. x
Wow...Absolutely Stunning black ice background, dry embossed snowflakes and heat embossed layered snowflake. Thank you so much Marcia for sharing and joining us again at CAS Mix Up. Love and Hugs, Nancy
Wow Marcia, that certainly packs a metalic punch. I love it
Wow, Marcia, what a stunner ... such gorgeous impact and awesome texture ... so stylish! Hugs, Anita :)
Absolutely stunning card and you've done a magnificent job of that amazing technique. Marvellous addition to the CAS Mix up gallery Marcia and isn't it wonderful to try out new techniques ......a real stunner x
Isn't that just the best technique, Marcia? I didn't use mirror cardstock but I'll try it next time if I have any. That large snowflake is spectacular as a metal looking addition to the card.
What a great design using this technique Marcia! I can feel the icy cold radiating off your card! The big embossed silver snowflake just reinforces that feeling! I feel that if I touched the card my finger would stick to the ice!! xx
Simply a stunner. Love all the texture you added to the technique, especially the debossed snowflakes. That snowflake embossed 3x does add to the elegance of your card. Beautiful work.
Thanks for joining us at CAS Mix Up! xx
