Black Ice

Hello Unies! I hope you all had a beautiful & memorable Christmas.
For todays post, I’d thought I’d share a new technique I tried out on a couple of my Christmas cards. The Black Ice thechnique was started by Melissa Kerman of Melissa’s Crafting Treehouse. Here is the video toutorial showing how she developed the technique.  

                                         
I think this technique is so cool! Pun intended. :) For my cards I followed Melissa's instructions and mounted my panels on homemade glittered paper. I used these Unity kits; Winter Blessings and Woodland Deer, Spruce Up the Season & the sentiment from Magical Holiday
                 

        

Have you tried this technique out yet? The effects are really stunning in person. The photos cant really capture the true essence of the beauty it holds. 
If you've been enjoying these projects this week and want to win some Unity stamps, leave me a comment! I'm drawing two winners at the end of the week! Comment each day so you dont miss out! For an extra entry today, tell me what your favorite twchnique is.
