I received this cute image in the mail from Crissy, one of the artists for High Hopes Stamps. THANKS CRISSY!! She stamped it on off-white colored cardstock, so all I had to do was color it and put the card design together.
I colored the image with various markers (Prismacolor markers, Tombow markers, and Micron Markers). I added some icy ground for the bear to walk on, and colored the blue of the ice with Prismacolor colored pencils and Tombow markers. I added Stardust Stickles to the fur on the kid's coat, on the star and on the ice.
I added some snowflakes to the image with Caramel ink, stamped off several times before stamping on the image. I wanted the snowflakes to be very subtle.
This card measures 5.5" x 5.5".

OK, I'm going to try and remain calm.... ANNA WIGHT COLORED MY IMAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!! (how was that for calm? not very, eh?)
Love the colors you chose and of course, you gave the image dimension with your expert rendering of shadows and light. Love the snowy ground. Your lines are a unique expression of you and I love them. I love the subtle snowflakes all around him. Love the bg paper and panel and buckle with the two ribbons. Love your extra squiggly lines all around each panel. Love the added tab on the left with the ribbon. Love the stickles and where you chose to put them. Its neat how you mixed the media you used for the colors. There's nothing I don't love about this card, I love it all! Thanks for turning my humble design into this marvelous creation!!! You made me flip out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
