Hello and welcome to Day 4 of the My Favorite Things
November release countdown! For the next five days we're counting down
to the November release and sharing cards and projects using all of the
new stamps and die-namics.
For today's card I used the new Polar Bear Pals stamp set (and coordinating die-namics) along with the new Icebergs die-namics to create a fun, icy scene. I also added some trees into the scene from the new Chill Wishes stamp set.
For today's card I used the new Polar Bear Pals stamp set (and coordinating die-namics) along with the new Icebergs die-namics to create a fun, icy scene. I also added some trees into the scene from the new Chill Wishes stamp set.
I first created a watercolour background with my Prima watercolours and while that was drying I stamped, coloured and diecut my trees and polar bear. I love the adorable skating bear and couldn't wait to use him on a card!
Once the background was dry, I die cut it with a stitched rectangle from Blueprints 29 and adhered it onto a Steel Grey card stock panel. I then added it to a plaid background from the Merry & Bright 6x6 paper pad and adhered it onto a white top-folding card base.
I adhered the icebergs, the trees and the polar bear to create an outdoor scene with the polar bear skating on ice. I love the colours on this card and love that the scene turned out exactly how I had envisioned it in my head.
The sentiment is stamped on a Stitched Fishtail Flags Stax die with Black Licorice dye ink and tehn I added some clear sequins to complete the card.
