I made these for the August Splitcoast Fan Club Christmas Challenge! I've been having so much fun being a part of the challenge this year & the bonus is I'll have a bunch of Christmas cards finished in plenty of time for Christmas this year. We'd love for you join in!
To make my card, I put the paper into my Misti, stamped the Polar Bears & colored them w/ Copics. I masked them, then stamped the 2 step Watercolor Forest w/ the Memento summer sky & bamboo leaves behind the bears. I used a torn piece of paper to lightly sponge in the snow. To die cut the panel, I first used the largest of the stitched rectangles dies to cut the entire scene, then used a die 2 sizes smaller to cut the center. Both were attached to slightly larger layers of red glitter paper before attaching to the card. I also added a thin layer of fun foam behind the center panel to raise it up a tad. Stickles was added to the snow & trees.
Thank so much for looking. Closeups, the inside & Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff

This is stunning! Such a beautiful scene you created. Sometimes I look at the tiniest of details and what struck me on this card is the wonderful shading under the baby polar bear, it adds dimension to that baby polar bear!
