Cool Christmas

Well I hope you've all been enjoying the festivities over the past week?.
It's been a busy time in the shop as you would expect at this time of year & we worked right up until 4 on Christmas Eve.
 So, its been really lovely to have a few days off & enjoy some time with family & friends before we started back today ready for our Winter Sale.

I'm sharing the Christmas card I made for my sister & her boyfriend. She's got a thing about Polar bears & when I saw this stamp from Woodware I just had to have it to make their card.


I cut a circle for the moon & a wavy strip for the snowy hills from cardboard & used these as masks around which I blended distress inks to form the sky background.
I left these in place & then placed the stars stencil from Imagination crafts over the top & spread diamond Sparkle medium also from Imagination crafts through the stencil.
Once dry, I stamped the Cool Christmas sentiment from the Woodware stamp set in the bottom right corner & added my Polar bears that had been coloured with a paintbrush & distress inks.


I created the border by stamping stars with perfect medium & then heat embossed with white detail embossing powder onto navy card.
To finish I added a bow made with ribbon & bakers twine, a pearl button & some crystal stickles glitter glue.


Hope you all have a great New Year & I wish you all a very happy 2015!.

See you again soon

Amy
