This is for IC255 and here is a link to the poster that inspired my project. http://postercabaret.com/photoopp4pr...sahaedike.aspx The minute I saw the penguina nd baby polar bear I thought of this fun image from Stampavie. I decided to create a snowy tree scene with the two guys walking along the edge of the frozen pond. I stamped off several evergreen trees and dabbed white craft along the ground area and embossed with white ep.
I have a couple of questions for you guys. Does anyone else but me have trouble figuring out how to paint or color a polar bear so he looks white like a real polar bear? Also, does anyone else but me have trouble figuring out what to do with snowflakes that are part on the image? Unless they are masked off when inking the image up they are stamped with black ink. Black snowflakes????? I was stumped by this this morning as I started coloring my image and thought I would pose the questions to see if anyone could give me ideas or suggestions.

What a darling bear! You've certainly made him look like a polar bear to me, Kittie! Maybe the snowflakes were meant to just be glitzed with a sparkle on another day ... I'm not familiar with the image ... so I'm only offering an idea for the next one ... THIS one is unBEARably Sweet!
