First image inked is the super cool polar bear coloured with Prisma pencils and fussy cut out. I die cut the happy three times and used tumbled glass Distress Oxide on one layer.
Then using texture paste I smeared it all over the top half, added a bit of sparkle to make it look like the bear is grinding the snowy happy. Texture paste is perfect for snow and I like it more uneven rather than perfect through a stencil :)
The Christmas is from a set by Clearly Besotted and the snowflakes are from a set by Uniko stamped with the same ink as the happy.
For a finishing touch I added Wink of Stella to the snowboard and some glossy accents on his goggles.

Such a gorgeous card Claire and so adorable, love the snow effect and fab design x
ReplyDeleteHave to agree about the chunky snow...it has a more real feel to it. And your 'happy' with its snowbank topping looks great! He's a mighty cute snowboarder, too. What a fun Christmas card! Love those blues as well. xo Bev
