The fun continues on
52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown where the theme for week 3 in March is Christmas Animals. These days there are cards with all kinds of animals on for Christmas, cats, dogs, reindeer, camels, donkeys and I thought I would go for the very cold and icy polar bear. Her's my card
I know, I know, it's Zoo Review again, but I just love it! My polar bear is floating on an iceberg and you can see his reflection in the icy water (courtesy of my brayer). I made the icicles using a Tim Holtz EF and cut them out and added silver stickles, you can see them better on this close up.
The snowflakes are done using a resist technique, dabbing versamark overthe card with a cotton bud and then clear embossing. The inks are a blend of Pool Party and Indigo Island. I think 'Peace on Earth' is a good sentiment for this card.
Beautiful card Louise. I wish I could get my reflections to come as well as yours, it's great. Cool card!
ReplyDeleteI think this is fab. It looks soooo cold - a bit like the view from my office window at the moment with snow everywhere!! Your reflection is just perfect and I love the addition of the sparkle around the icicles!
ReplyDeleteHi Louise, this is beautiful and as Rocky has said the reflection is awesome! Just wanted to pop over to say thank you for the lovely comment you left on my blog - I really do appreciate it hun and I'm so happy you've enjoyed the technique - it's definitely one I plan to do again and soon! Have a fab weekend Karen x
ReplyDeleteThat is so clever to make a reflection of your polar bear with your brayer! I'm going to have to try that sometime! Great card, Louise! Thanks for the challenge.
