Joanne is our hostess over at CCEE Stampers for the first two weeks in December, before we take a break. She tells us that today is National Roof Over Your Head Day. It is a day to be thankful for those of us who are fortunate enough to have a safe home to live in AND to think about those around the world who do not. To mark this day, our challenge today is to make a card with a house/building of some sort on it.
I used LOTV Igloo bears and sentiment. The bears were stamped on Bristol Board and coloured with Polychromos pencils. I used a circle to cut them, and then trimmed the bottom off, layering it onto a Lacy Circle cut from glitter card.
The base is white card which was used to mop up some blue homemade mister, I embossed it with TE Snowfall, and added a silver glitter border down each side. Silver ribbon along the bottom, overlayed with IO foliage, and Stickles and Liquid Pearls for the berries. The sentiment is a Spellbinders banner, edged with silver Stickles and popped up in the centre with foam. I added a whole bunch of foliage in green and shimmer white in the two top corners, and tucked some little red gem berries in.

So sweet and so cute! I love all the glittery goodness, too - the sentiment looks wonderful!

Well, if that isn't the perfect home for those snow bears...I dunno what is. They even decided not to hibernate 'cause they have this igloo now. Love it!

These adorable bears perched on their igloo was a wonderful choice for this challenge!! Love your coloring and the embossed, splattered snowy background, but especially love the punched silver borders - Awesome, Sabrina!

I have that scalloped boarder and never use it...punched in silver makes it look fantastic. I need a file of terrific "Sabrina ideas". You really are tge most creative person at SCS. what a fun holiday card.
