This is my card for Lee's VSN challenge. She has taken us to Iceland. I've never been there, but my aunt has, and a couple of friends and work colleagues in the past, so I have seen some wonderful slide-shows of all the amazing scenery there.
I struggled a little with this - when I poured my Glossy Accents onto the glossy card and added the re-inker (Tumbled glass), I could see a distinct difference between where I had poured the GA on and where I started brushing it. I reckoned, being a challenge for Lee, I was safe in adding glitter to see if that would disguise it somewhat. Still not too happy with it I decided to make a little scene and just die-cut the most useable part of my coloured ice - and used the rest for snowflakes and the sentiment. The shimmer and shine of this is amazing!! I might even sacrifice another bit of glossy card and try it again soon ;-).

Oh, this turned out gorgeous! Way to work through the struggles and turn it into something beautiful! I was longing for a reinker in a lovely color like this when I was making mine!

I am so glad you didn't give up Sabrina. This is gorgeous and the design is perfect to showcase the ice technique, with your polar bear and iceberg. I love cards that make me smile!!!
