Snowdust in Black & White

I have a couple of  'the same, but different' cards to share today...I used the same stamps and technique, but in a couple of different colourways...


I started by inking an acrylic block with 'Faded Jeans' and 'Stormy Sky' Distress Inks...I then spritzed a little water on to them, before pressing the block down on to a card blank to make a wintry background. On the first card, I stamped my Penny Black 'Snowdust' stamp in Versamark, then heat embossed it in white, and added a sentiment from the 'Bubble Tree' set by Woodware.


On the second card, I embossed the image using Black Sparkle powder:
