This was one that isn't perfect but am not too disappointed.
I tried this technique last year and thought I should try it again. I forgot though the one thing I learnt last time - DON'T PRESS TOO HARD WHEN SWIPING THE INK PAD'!!!
I think practice may make perfect on this 'Black Ice' technique and no doubt I will try it again on another scrap of mirri card.
This is not a big card - it only measures 4" square. The mirri card was just an odd piece, as was the black linen textured card, both left over from something and put onto a white card blank. (Playground for me then!)
The tree stamps are Inikadinkadoo and the stag is Inkylicious.
I watched this video from the Serene Stamper - and looking at her finished cards compared to mine - more practice required!!
Thanks for looking - we woke up to the first frost this morning and as usual after a frosty start we now have clear blue skies and sunshine! Have a great day whatever you're doing! x

Always good fun revisiting techniques or trying new ones even if they don't always go completely to plan. This looks pretty effective to me.
Beautiful atmospheric card Viv

This is a technique I must look into. I love the effect of the black ink stripes, so decorative and it adds interest to your design.
Yes we did too, quite thick as well (frost by the way).
Well done, on trying again and a good job you have made of it too. Great images and the background reminds me of very heavy rain on a really dark day.

This is beautiful.
Brrrrr on the frost. We are happy to be in the 80's finally. [Bunny]`
Love this, am really into linen right now. You have nothing to improve on in my book.
Lovely card, Viv, the scene you've created is so atmospheric using this technique. xx
This is such a great technique Viv! I love how your card turned out - so moody and full of texture. I really must add this to my list of techniques to try. Thanks for joining us this week at Just Add Ink.
I actually LOVE it, I think it made an awesome background just perfect for your scene! Thank you for joining our challenge at Double D!

This is such a fun and clever technique and your card has such a beautiful and still feel. The dark images really pop amongst the silver details. Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink this week.
Frosts our end too today. What a striking card. Always fun to play with techniques and I think you've done a fabulous job. Your card is unique and stunning x.
Oh Viv this is fabulous! Gosh I haven't done that technique in years ... thanks for inspiration! You did a beautiful job! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Double D ‘Silhouette’ challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

I think you did very well with this difficult technique, Viv! The woodland scene is perfect for the black ice!
This black ice Christmas card is so pretty and unique Viv and I think you did this beautifully, such a bold look and love black and silver. x
Your card is so cool! Thanks for sharing with us at MIU this month.
That's a great result, Viv. I've tried this a few times but never been really happy with my results. I think you cracked it here (LOL, pun NOT intended!)
